Highlands (Song Of Ascent) Acoustic - Hillsong UNITED

Stay Connected

VERSE 1:
O how high would I climb mountains
If the mountains were where You hide
O how far I’d scale the valleys
If You graced the other side

VERSE 2:
O how long have I chased rivers
From lowly seas to where they rise
Against the rush of grace descending
From the source of its supply

PRE-CHORUS 1:
In the highlands and the heartache
You’re neither more or less inclined
I would search and stop at nothing
You’re just not that hard to find

CHORUS:
So I will praise You on the mountain
And I will praise You when the mountain’s in my way
You’re the summit where my feet are
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
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

VERSE 3:
O how far beneath Your glory
Does Your kindness extend the path
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise
To where You sweep the sinner’s past

VERSE 4:
O how fast would You come running
If just to shadow me through the night
Trace my steps through all my failure
And walk me out the other side
PRE-CHORUS 2:
For who could dare ascend that mountain
That valleyed hill called Calvary
But for the One I call Good Shepherd
Who like a lamb was slain for me

BRIDGE:
Whatever I walk through
Wherever I am
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

PRE-CHORUS 3:
From the gravest of all valleys
Come the pastures we call grace
A mighty river flowing upwards
From a deep but empty grave

Iwill always sing my song of ascent even when I'm passing through fire

[nathaliebernal]

The first time I heard this song was after I found out that my mom was healed from CANCER. Two months later, I find myself singing this to my soul once again, the tumor has grown back & a day after I got the devastating news, the results of my board exam for Occupational therapy came back--and I failed. I can't stress how much this song means to me. It really is a SONG OF ASCENT. MY PRAISES ASCENDED TO HEAVEN AND HIS HEART WITH ALL SINCERITY, AS I PRAISED HIM, EVEN IF. And now, I continue to praise Him while waiting to SEE A VICTORY. <3

I’ve been an atheist all my life .. I’m 31, ex drug addict, still struggling.. I’ve been to rehab for 17 months now, when I listen to Hillsong, I cry but I’m the most relaxed, like my struggles disappear

“No less God within the shadows,
No less faithful when the night leads me astray” ❤️

I'm french and my english is not well
But I want to say something.
When I hear Hillsong I remember how Jesus loves me

[WorshipChannel]

was an Atheist my whole life and then I gave my life to Jesus.. I have never been happier. Best decision ever. JESUS IS ALIVE

“From a deep but empty that line has me shouting to the rooftops, which also has my mom yelling at me to be quiet because it’s midnight. But thanks for another great reminder of our gods love and grace!

[kabelotlhagale]

I titled my first Art Exhibition "The Ascension Collection" because of how much life this song spoke to my Life and ALL GOD HAS DONE

[topworshipsongs]

God never sends you into a situation alone, God goes before you, He stands beside you, He walks behind you. Whatever situation you have right now be confident. God is with you. AMEN ❤.

I listened to this song often when I was praying for my 3 year old nephew to be healed from cancer. He died and my heart broke but I still listen to this song which gives me strength.

[MsSophie]

I love this song. It’s one of my favorites from Hillsong United. This song made me think of my Dad. He passed away almost 2 years ago. I also lost my mom when I was 11 years old. I can honestly say, knowing where they’re right now, in heaven. I can get up & face another day. I know I’m not in my walk with God where I should be. I know he is near & he has helped me these past few years. God has Helped me. I honestly can say I praise him, cause he saved them. He healed them both & now they’re both together again. I know one day I’ll see them.

O how high would I climb mountains
If the mountains were where You hide
O how far I'd scale the valleys
If You graced the other side
O how long have I chased rivers
From lowly seas to where they rise
Against the rush of grace descending
From the source of its supply
Cause in the highlands and the heartache
You're neither more or less inclined
I would search and stop at nothing
You're just not that hard to find
I will praise You on the mountain
And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
You're the summit where my feet are
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
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
O how far beneath Your glory
Does Your kindness extend the path
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise
To where You sweep the sinner's past
And O how fast would You come running
If just to shadow me through the night
Trace my steps through all my failure
And walk me out the other side
For who could dare ascend that mountain
That valleyed hill called Calvary
But for the One I call Good Shepherd
Who like a lamb was slain for me
I will praise You on the mountain
And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
You're the summit where my feet are
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
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
Whatever I walk through
Wherever I am
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
Whatever I walk through
Wherever I am
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
My song of ascent
My song of ascent
From the gravest of all valleys
Come the pastures we call grace
A mighty river flowing upwards
From a deep but empty grave
So I will praise You on the mountain
And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
You're the summit where my feet are
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
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

"You're just not that hard to find.'

[TheElliott]

One of the best written songs I’ve heard in ages. Perfect song craft 🙌

[onidediva]

This song speaks directly of my experience with God.
When I was feeling very low, went to the beach and I was crying to the heavens and he sent a silent wind with a cloud that just drizzled on me and only directly . God is truly very magical, he would come and do anything just to remind you he is there always

[amomolema]

How many of us gets goosebumps from this song....EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.!!!

[bignatepark]

“Whatever I walk through, wherever I am, Your name can move a mountain wherever I stand”

[vb]

The song was my personal anthem in 2019. It was a difficult year with many highs and also many lows. Nonetheless, God sustained me through it all. I remember crying to sleep at night with this playing. My circumstances are much better today, but still I find myself singing this time and time again. He is Lord over my highs and lows, I will praise him in the highlands, and the valleys...
