Intro: GGG
Once I stood at the foot of a great high mountain
DG
That I wanted so much to climb
GG
And on top of this mountain was a beautiful fountain
DG
That flows with the water of life
GG
I fell down on my knees at the foot of this mountain
DG
I cried, "O Lord what must I do?
GG
I want to climb this mountain, I want to drink from this fountain
D
That flows so clear in my view"
GG
Then I heard a sweet voice from the top of this mountain
D
Saying, "Child put your hand in mine"
GG
I started climbing slowly, "Watch your steps at the edges
D
And take one step at a time"
GG
I started climbing upward taking one step at a time
DG
The higher I got the harder I climbed
GG
I'm still climbing upward and my journey's almost ended
DG
I'm nearing the top and you ought to see the view
GG
Oh the water flows freely, there's enough to make you free
DG
So friend if you're thirsty climb this mountain with me
