Great High Mountain

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