Hillsong UNITED - Highlands (Song Of Ascent) Live

[Intro]
Em D C G
Em D
C

[Verse 1]
G Em D
O how high would I climb mountains
C
If the mountains were where You hide
G Em D
O how far I’d scale the valleys
C
If You graced the other side
G Em D
O how long have I chased rivers
C
From lowly seas to where they rise
G Em D
Against the rush of grace descending
C
From the source of its supply

[Pre-Chorus]
G C D Em
In the highlands and the heartache
G
You’re neither more or less inclined
D C D Em
I would search and stop at nothing
C
You’re just not that hard to find

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

[Verse 2]
D C G Em D
O how far beneath Your glory
C
Does Your kindness extend the path
G Em D
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise
C
To where You sweep the sinner’s past
G Em D
O how fast would You come running
C
If just to shadow me through the night
G Em D
Trace my steps through all my failure
C
And walk me out the other side

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

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

[Break]
D C G Em
Whatever I walk through

[Bridge]
Wherever I am
D C
Your Name can move mountains
Wherever I stand
G Em
And if ever I walk through
The valley of death
D C
I’ll sing through the shadows
My song of ascent
G Em
Whatever I walk through
Wherever I am
D C
Your Name can move mountains
Wherever I stand
G Em
And if ever I walk through
The valley of death
D C
I’ll sing through the shadows
My song of ascent
G Em
My song of ascent

[Break]
D C G Em
D C

[Pre-Chorus]
G C D Em
From the gravest of all valleys
G
Come the pastures we call grace
D C D Em
A mighty river flowing upwards
C
From a deep but empty grave

[Outro]
G
So I will praise You on the mountain
D Em
And I will praise You when the mountain’s in my way
D
You’re the summit where my feet are
C G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
No less God within the shadows
D Em
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
D
You’re the heaven where my heart is
C G
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
