Highlands Song Of Ascent Acoustic Chords

(*Chord Strikes/-Fingerpick)
 
[Intro][Fingerpick]
 
Em7  D  C2  G
 
[Verse 1][Fingerpick]
    Em7                  D
O how high would I climb mountains
       C2                         G
If the mountains were where You hide
    Em7                    D
O how far I'd scale the valleys
      C2                  G
If You graced the other side
 
[Verse 2][Fingerpick]
    Em7                  D
O how long have I chased rivers
           C2                   G
From lowly seas to where they rise
            Em7                D
Against the rush of grace descending
        C2                 G
From the source of its supply
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1][Fingerpick]
              C2          D          Em7
'Cause in the highlands and the heartache
               G                 D
You're neither more or less inclined
       C2           D         Em7
I would search and stop at nothing
            C2
You're just not that hard to find
 
 
[Chorus][Start Struming]
G
 I will praise You on the mountain
D                                                Em
 And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
           D                       C
You're the summit where my feet are
                                            G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
                              D
No less God within the shadows
                                           Em
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
           D
You're the heaven where my heart is
C                                            Em    D     C2    G
 In the highlands and the heartache all the same
 
 
[Verse 3][Change to main strum}
    Em7                   D
O how far beneath Your glory
          C2                   G
Does Your kindness extend the path
                Em7               D
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise
             C2                    G
To where You sweep the sinner's past
 
 
[Verse 4]
    Em7                      D
O how fast would You come running
           C2                       G
If just to shadow me through the night
        Em7                    D
Trace my steps through all my failure
            C2              G
And walk me out the other side
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
              C2*      D*           Em7*
For who could dare ascend that mountain
              G*               D*
That valleyed hill called Calvary
            C2*     D*         Em7*
But for the One I call Good Shepherd
           C2*
Who like a lamb was slain for me
 
 
[Chorus]
G
 I will praise You on the mountain
D                                                Em7
 And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
           D
You're the summit where my feet are
C2                                           G
  So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
 
 No less God within the shadows
 D                                         Em7
   No less faithful when the night leads me astray
           D
You're the heaven where my heart is
C2                                           Em7    D     C2    G
 In the highlands and the heartache all the same
 
 
 
[Bridge]
              Em7                     D
Whatever I walk through, wherever I am
                      C2                   G
Your name can move mountains wherever I stand
                  Em7                        D
And if ever I walk through the valley of death
                        C2                   G
I'll sing through the shadows my song of ascent
 
(Build)
Em7                     D
Whatever I walk through, wherever I am
                      C2                   G
Your name can move mountains wherever I stand
                  Em7                        D
And if ever I walk through the valley of death
                        C2                  G                  Em7    D    C2    G
I'll sing through the shadows my song of ascent, my song of ascent
              Em7     D     C2     G
My song of ascent
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 3]
        -C2      -D      -Em7
From the gravest of all valleys
         -G                 -D
Come the pastures we call grace
         C2*       D*     Em7*
A mighty river flowing upwards
       C2*
From a deep but empty grave
 
 
[Chorus][Fingerpick]
G
 I will praise You on the mountain
D                                                Em7
 And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
           D                       C2
You're the summit where my feet are
                                            G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
                              D
No less God within the shadows
                                           Em7
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
           D
You're the heaven where my heart is
C2                                           G
 In the highlands and the heartache all the same
