   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
