VERSE 1:
G
Once I stood at the foot of a great high mountain
       D                 G
That I wanted so much to climb

And on top of this mountain was a beautiful fountain
     D                        G
That flows with the waters of life

VERSE 2:
I fell down on my knees at the foot of this mountain
I cried, "O Lord, what must I do?
I want to climb this mountain, I want to drink from this fountain
That flows so clear in my view"

VERSE 3:
Then I heard a sweet voice from the top of this mountain
Saying, "Child put your hand in mine"
I started climbing slowly, "Watch your step at the edges
And take one step at a time"
G
I started climbing upward, taking one step at a time
    D                 G
The higher I got, the harder I climbed

BREAK

VERSE 5:
I'm still climbing upwards and my journey's almost ended
I'm nearing the top and you oughta see the view
Oh, the water flows freely, there's enough to make you free
So, friend, if you're thirsty, climb this mountain with me
