^{D G/D D G/D}
I wanna build a house upon this mountain
^{D G/D D G/D}
Way up high where the peaceful waters flow
^{Gmaj7 Em7}
To quench my thirsty soul
^{D G/D D G/D}
Upon the mountain
^{D G/D D G/D}
I can see for miles upon this mountain
^{D G/D D G/D}
And troubles seem so small they almost disappear
^{D/F# Em7}
Lord, I love it here
^{D G/D D G/D}
Upon on the mountain
^{G D/F# Em7}
My faith is strengthened by all that I see
^{Bm7 G D/F# Em7}
You make it easy for me to believe
^{D G/D D G/D}
Up on the mountain
^{D G/D D G/D}
Oh, up on the mountain
^{D G/D D G/D}
I would love to live upon this mountain
^{D G/D D G/D}
And keep the pain of living life so far away
^{G D/F# Em7}
But, I know I can't stay
^{D G/D D G/D}
Oh, up on the mountain
^{G D/F# Em7}
I said I'd go, Lord, where ever You lead
^{Bm7 G D/F# Em7}
For where You are is where I most wanna be
^{D G/E D G/B}
And I can tell we're headed for the valley, Yes we are
^{G D/F# Em7}
My faith is strengthened by all that I've seen
^{Bm7 A/B Bm7 G D/F# Em7}
So, Lord, help me remember what You've shown me
^{D G/E D G A}
Up on the mountain, Yeah!
^{A G A A2sus A}
You bring me up here on the mountain
^{D G A G A D}
For me to rest and learn and grow
^{G A A2sus A}
I see the truth up on the mountain
^{Em7 Bm A G A D}
And I carry it to the world far below
^{G A A2sus A}
So, as I go down to the valley
^{D G A G A D}
Knowin that You will go with me
^{G A Bm A G D/F# Em7}
This is my prayer Lord: Help me to remember what You've shown me
^{D Dsus/E D Dsus/B D Dsus/E D G/B G/A}
Up on the mountain, Up on the mountain
^{G/D D G/D}
I cherish these times up on the mountain
^{D G/D D G/D}
But I can leave this place because I know
^{G D/F# Em7}
Someday You'll take me home
To live forever
^{D Dsus/E D Dsus/B Dsus/A}
Upon the mountain
^{D Dsus/E D Dsus/B Dsus/A
D G/D D}
Upon the mountain
^{G/D D G/D D G/D}
Way up on the mountain
