 I  wanna build a house upon this mountain
 
 
 Way  up high where the peaceful waters flow
 To  quench my thirsty soul
 
 
 Upon  the mountain
 
 
 I  can see for miles upon this mountain
 
 
 And  troubles seem so small they almost disappear
 Lord,  I love it  here
 
 
 Upon  on the mountain
 My  faith is strengthened by  all that  I see
 You  make it easy for me to believe
 
 
 Up  on the mountain
 
 
 Oh,  up on the mountain
 
 
 I  would love to live upon this mountain
 
 
 And  keep the pain of living life so far away
 But,  I know I can't  stay
 
 
 Oh,  up on the mountain
 I  said I'd go, Lord,  where ever  You lead
 For  where You are is where I most wanna  be
 And  I can  tell we're headed for  the valley,  Yes we are
 My  faith is strengthened by  all that  I've seen
 So,  Lord, help me remember  what  You've  shown me
 Up  on the  mountain,  Yeah!
 
 
 You  bring me up here on the mountain
 For  me to rest and  learn and grow
 
 
 I  see the truth up on the mountain
 And  I carry it to the world  far  below
 
 
 So,  as I go down to the valley
 Knowin  that You will  go with me
 This  is my prayer Lord:  Help me  to remember  what  You've  shown  me
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Up  on  the  mountain,  Up on the mountain
 I  cherish these  times up on the mountain
 
 
 But  I can leave this place because I know
 Someday  You'll take me home
 To live forever
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Upon  the mountain
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Upon  the mountain
 Way  up on the mountain
 (repeat and fade)
