VERSE ONE
C Am
Born in the heat of a desert
Dm7 G7
My mother died givin' me life
C Am
Despised and disliked by my Father,
Dm7 G7
Blamed for the loss of his wife.
C Am
You know, Lord, I've been in a prison,
Dm7 G7
For something that I've never done
C Em
It's been one hill after another,
F Dm7 G7
And I've climbed them Lord,one by one.
C F C
But this time,You gave me a mountain,
F C
A mountain I may never climb
F C
it isn't a hill any longer,
F C
You gave me a mountain this time.
