The Mountain

I can see it from here, Lord;

There's a mountain out there,

But I can't seem to climb it

'Cause there are clouds everywhere...

I can see it from here. Lord;

It is awesome and steep -

I am trying to climb, Lord;

Hold me close in Thy keep...

I can see it from here, Lord;

There's a mountain out there -

I keep trying to climb, Lord;

Help me do what's my share...

I can see it from here, Lord;

It is awesome and steep -

I'm still trying to climb, Lord,

And I'm starting to weep...

I can see it from here, Lord;

I'm on that mountain out there -

I am climbing at last, Lord,

And I offer a prayer ...

I can see it from here, Lord;

It is awesome and steep -

Oh please help me, Good Shepherd,

I am one of Thy Sheep!
