As sung by Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford, The Great High Mountain, LFLP 23

THE GREAT HIGH MOUNTAIN

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 waters 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 the fountain
That's flowing so clear to my view"

Then I heard a sweet voice from the top of this mountain
Saying, "Child put your hand in mine
Start 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
And the higher I got, the harder I climbed
I'm still climbing upward and my journey's almost ended
I'm nearing the top and you ought to see the view

Oh the waters flow so freely, there's enough to make you free
So my friend, if you're thirsty, climb this mountain with me
