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 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 mountain |
| That flows so clean 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 |
| 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 water flows so freely, there’s enough to make you free |
| So friend if you’re thirsty climb this mountain with me |
