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