The Mountain

by Steven Curtis Chapman & Geoff Moore

 

I had been looking for this song Online for days when i finally found it

else where. Since it wasn't hear at Harmony Central, I decided to copy

it down and send it here. I hope you enjoy this. I don't think it's

entirely accurate (I haven't had a chance to try it out yet) but it's a

start. Have fun!

I wanna build a house upon this mountain

Way up high where the peaceful waters flow

To quench my thirsty soul

Upon the mountain

I said I'd go, Lord, where ever You lead

And I carry it to the world far below

Knowin that You will go with me

Up on the mountain, Up on the mountain
