Despised and disliked by my Father,

You know, Lord, I've been in a prison,

For something that I've never done;

It's been one hill after another,

And I've climbed them Lord,one by one.

But this time,You gave me a mountain,

A mountain I may never climb;

it isn't a hill any longer,

You gave me a mountain this time.
