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. 

Refr?o -------------
    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.
