BUILD ME A MOUNTAIN

Lord, build me a mountain—that I must climb

Strengthen me in body–in spirit and mind

Lord build me a mountain–to climb every day

When I reach the top–bid me to stop–and bid me to stay

CHORUS

When I’m in the valley—I look up to you

And I often wonder—what I must do

To reach that peak—and enjoy the view

Lord build me a mountain—bid me come to you

Lord pour me an ocean—that I must swim

Against current and tide—against a head wind

But Lord be my lighthouse—and guide me to shore

And then bid me stay—safe in the bay—to leave never more

REPEAT CHORUS

Lord make me a desert—that I must cross

strengthen me and guide me–so I won’t be lost

Lord be my oasis—refreshing to me

When I come inside–bid me abide–for eternity

REPEAT CHORUS
