You made me realize that because I have been made right with God, and Christ lives within me.

& every day I wake up, I’m living, I’m alive and I’m blessed.

I will praise on the mountain
I will praise you when the mountain is in my way

No less God within the shadows
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
You’re the heaven where my heart is
In the highlands and the heartache all the same

Your name can move mountains Wherever I stand
And if ever I walk through The valley of death
I’ll sing through the shadows My song of ascent
