1. Though sometimes I'm disappointed by the friends that I hold dear,
I refuse to be defeated by the ghosts of doubt and fear.
I could think about my weakness, keep my eyes upon the sod,
But my help comes from a mountain that brings me close to God.
Chorus
Oh there's something about a mountain that reaches for the sky,
That speaks of things eternal, of a hope that never dies.
Like the blessed Rock of Ages, repose amid the din,
I'll just go up to the mountain and keep my trust in Him.
2. This old wilderness holds nothing and I'm not content to stay
For I've seen a land of riches, milk and honey every day.
I'll not let those mighty giants blind my eyes to Canaan's land
For there's a mountain to remind me that victory's close at hand.
