I'm still climbing...

lyrics

Mount Zion

Bow myself down I just see the floor
Rise to my knees I can see some more
A few blocks round on level ground
Sit on the roof I can see down town
Up hill I can tell where the city ends
On a mountain it seems the horizon bends
In space, it’s apparent the earth’s a ball
But from Mount Zion I can see it all

Well I don’t know but I have been told
That the greatest things are not bought and sold
So many mountains of silver and gold
Won’t buy me that which I want to behold
Climbing Mount Zion is my only goal
Reaching the highest peaks of my soul
Connecting my heart with the greater Whole
To meet the Director Who’s in control

Some in positions of power may cling
Onto their thrones and the feeling it brings
But prime ministers, queens, and kings
Are puppets of the One who pulls the strings
Their crowned jewels and diamond rings
Aren’t worth a song that the sparrow sings
Soaring over all on a pair of wings
From Zion alone can be seen all things

Bow myself down I just see the floor
Rise to my knees I can see some more
A few blocks round on level ground
Sit on the roof I can see down town
Up hill I can tell where the city ends
On a mountain it seems the horizon bends
In space, it’s apparent the earth’s a ball
But from Mount Zion I can see it all

Objects in the mirror aren’t as they appear
Close my eyes and the vision’s clear
Shut my ears, I can finally hear
Open up my heart and I have no fear
I stay on the path like a pioneer
Looking for life on the last frontier
Seeking something higher than the atmosphere
Might seem out of reach but it’s all right here

From the kangaroo who lives in the zoo
To the human being with the highest IQ
Hindu or Muslim or Christian or Jew
From Poland to Pakistan to Peru
Got to give credit where credit is due
To the Almighty One within me and you
Stand with God, You’ll understand it’s true
The Most High is the highest point of view

Bow myself down I just see the floor
Rise to my knees I can see some more
A few blocks round on level ground
Sit on the roof I can see down town
Up hill I can tell where the city ends
On a mountain it seems the horizon bends
In space, it’s apparent the earth’s a ball
But from Mount Zion I can see it all
