I want to build a house up on this mountain

Way up high where the peaceful waters flow

To quench my thirsty soul

Up on the mountain





CHORUS





My faith is strengthened by all that I see

You make it easy for me to believe up on the mountain

Oh, up on the mountain





I would love to live up on this mountain

And keep the pain of living life so far away

But I know I can't stay

Up on the mountain





CHORUS





I said I'd go, Lord, wherever You lead

For where You are is where I most want to be

And I can tell we're headed for the valley

My faith is strengthened by all that I've seen

So Lord help me remember what You've shown me

Up on the mountain





CHORUS 2

You bring me up here on this mountain

For me to rest and learn and grow

I see the truth up on the mountain

And I carry it to the world far below

So as I go down to the valley

Knowing that You will go with me

This is my prayer, Lord

Help me to remember what You've shown me

Up on the mountain

Up on the mountain





I cherish these times up on the mountain

But I can leave this place because I know

Someday You'll take me home to live forever

Up on the mountain
