These are very rich wonderful lyrics to sing to the tune: "Chariots of Fire"
"The Mountain of God" to the tune 'Chariots of Fire'
1. We tread in their footsteps, where prophets have trod; we come to the mountain, the presence of God. The bush that was burning with fire all around; we stand there with Moses, on holy ground.
O give me the eyes and ears of faith, to answer Your call! O give me a heart on fire with love to give You my all.
2. The mountain of meeting, of covenant law, created a people of worship and awe. Delivered from bondage, the blood was their sign; they sang of redemption; we stand in their line.
O give me….
3. The glory of Jesus, majestic to see; Up high on a mountain, transfigured was he. Elijah and Moses appeared from the past, predicting salvation accomplished at last.
O give me...
4. We come to Mount Zion, of suffering love; The church of the firstborn, redeemed from above. The Cross is our glory, its value unpriced; a love ever-burning in Jesus the Christ.
O give me…
