🎶 Highlands Song Of Ascent

Verse 1
O [D#]how high would I [Cb]climb mountains
If the [A#]mountains were where You [Db]hide
O [D#]how far I'd scale the [Cb]valleys
If [A#]You graced the other [Db]side


Verse 2
O [D#]how long have I [Cb]chased rivers
From lowly [A#]seas to where they [Db]rise
Against the [D#]rush of grace [Cb]descending
From [A#]the source of its [Db]supply


Pre-Chorus 1
'Cause in the [A#]highlands [Cb]and the [D#]heartache
You're neither [Db]more or less [Cb]inclined
I [A#]would search and [Cb]stop at [D#]nothing
You're just [A#]not that hard to find


Chorus
[Db] I will praise You on the mountain
[Cb] And I will praise You when the mountain's in my [D#]way
You're the [Cb]summit where my feet [A#]are
So I will praise You in the valleys all the [Db]same
No less God within the [Cb]shadows
No less faithful when the night leads me [D#]astray
You're the [Cb]heaven where my heart is
[A#]In the highlands and the heartache all the [D#]same [Cb] [A#] [Db]


Verse 3
O [D#]how far beneath Your [Cb]glory
Does Your [A#]kindness extend the [Db]path
From where Your [D#]feet rest on the [Cb]sunrise
To where You [A#]sweep the sinner's [Db]past


Verse 4
O [D#]how fast would You come [Cb]running
If just to [A#]shadow me through the [Db]night
Trace [D#]my steps through all my [Cb]failure
And walk me [A#]out the other [Db]side


Pre-Chorus 2
For who could [A#]dare [Cb]ascend that [D#]mountain
That valleyed [Db]hill called [Cb]Calvary
But for the [A#]One I [Cb]call Good [D#]Shepherd
Who like a [A#]lamb was slain for me


Chorus
[Db] I will praise You on the mountain
[Cb] And I will praise You when the mountain's in my [D#]way
You're the [Cb]summit where my feet [A#]are
So I will praise You in the valleys all the [Db]same
No less God within the [Cb]shadows
No less faithful when the night leads me [D#]astray
You're the [Cb]heaven where my heart is
[A#]In the highlands and the
heartache all the [D#]same [Cb] [A#] [Db]


Bridge
Whatever I [D#]walk through, wherever I [Cb]am
Your name can move [A#]mountains wherever I [Db]stand
And if ever I [D#]walk through the valley of [Cb]death
I'll sing through the [A#]shadows my song of [Db]ascent


Whatever I [D#]walk through, wherever I [Cb]am
Your name can move [A#]mountains wherever I [Db]stand
And if ever I [D#]walk through the valley of [Cb]death
I'll sing through the sh[A#]adows my song of
as[Db]cent, my song of as[D#]cent [Cb] [A#] [Db]
My song of [D#]ascent [Cb] [A#] [Db]


Pre-Chorus 3
From the [A#]gravest [Cb]of all [D#]valleys
Come the [Db]pastures we call [Cb]grace
A mighty [A#]river [Cb]flowing [D#]upwards
From a [A#]deep but empty grave


Chorus
[Db] I will praise You on the mountain
[Cb] And I will praise You when the mountain's in my [D#]way
You're the [Cb]summit where my feet [A#]are
So I will praise You in the valleys all the [Db]same
No less God within the [Cb]shadows
No less faithful when the night leads me [D#]astray
You're the [Cb]heaven where my heart is
[A#]In the highlands and the heartache all the [Db]same ⠀
