    Em                  D
O how high would I climb mountains

       C                         G
If the mountains were where You hide

    Em                    D
O how far I'd scale the valleys

      C                  G
If You graced the other side
[Verse 2]
    Em                  D
O how long have I chased rivers

           C                   G
From lowly seas to where they rise

            Em                D
Against the rush of grace descending

        C                 G
From the source of its supply
[Pre-Chorus 1]
              C          D          Em
'Cause in the highlands and the heartache

               G                 D
You're neither more or less inclined

       C           D         Em
I would search and stop at nothing

            C
You're just not that hard to find
[Chorus]
G
 I will praise You on the mountain

D                                                Em
 And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way

           D                       C
You're the summit where my feet are

                                            G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same

                              D
No less God within the shadows

                                           Em
No less faithful when the night leads me astray

           D
You're the heaven where my heart is

C                                           Em    D     C    G
 In the highlands and the heartache all the same
[Verse 3]
    Em                   D
O how far beneath Your glory

          C                   G
Does Your kindness extend the path

                Em               D
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise

             C                    G
To where You sweep the sinner's past
[Verse 4]
    Em                      D
O how fast would You come running

           C                       G
If just to shadow me through the night

        Em                    D
Trace my steps through all my failure

            C              G
And walk me out the other side
[Pre-Chorus 2]
              C      D           Em
For who could dare ascend that mountain

              G                D
That valleyed hill called Calvary

            C     D           Em
But for the One I call Good Shepherd

           C
Who like a lamb was slain for me
[Chorus]
G
 I will praise You on the mountain

D                                                Em
 And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way

           D                       C
You're the summit where my feet are

                                            G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same

                              D
No less God within the shadows

                                           Em
No less faithful when the night leads me astray

           D
You're the heaven where my heart is

C                                           Em    D     C    G
 In the highlands and the heartache all the same
[Bridge]
              Em                     D
Whatever I walk through, wherever I am

                      C                   G
Your name can move mountains wherever I stand

                  Em                        D
And if ever I walk through the valley of death

                        C                   G
I'll sing through the shadows my song of ascent

              Em                     D
Whatever I walk through, wherever I am

                      C                   G
Your name can move mountains wherever I stand

                  Em                        D
And if ever I walk through the valley of death

                        C                  G                  Em    D    C    G
I'll sing through the shadows my song of ascent, my song of ascent

              Em     D     C     G
My song of ascent
[Pre-Chorus 3]
         C       D        Em
From the gravest of all valleys

         G                  D
Come the pastures we call grace

         C        D      Em
A mighty river flowing upwards

       C
From a deep but empty grave
[Chorus]
G
 I will praise You on the mountain

D                                                Em
 And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way

           D                       C
You're the summit where my feet are

                                            G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same

                              D
No less God within the shadows

                                           Em
No less faithful when the night leads me astray

           D
You're the heaven where my heart is

C                                           G
 In the highlands and the heartache all the same
