Mountains of Lovingkindness [Intro] [Orchestral strings in 9/8, power chords building] From the ashes of my failures... From the ruins of my pride... A mountain rises from the wreckage... Where His lovingkindness hides... [Verse 1] I built my life on shifting ground of my own worth The earthquakes came and swallowed all I knew I cried out from the depths of broken earth And found His goodness waiting, tried and true [Verse 2] The height of human wisdom cannot reach The summit of His mercy's endless peak The depth of all my sin cannot exhaust The river of His grace when I am weak [Chorus 1] Higher than the mountains of my shame Deeper than the oceans of my pain His lovingkindness calls my name Through the fire, through the rain His goodness forever shall remain [Bridge] [Instrumental break in 13/8, guitar and keyboard trade solos] Every peak I could not climb He descended to my climb Every chasm of my crime He has filled with grace sublime [Outro] [Building to climax, then sudden silence, single piano note] From the ashes... a mountain... From the ruins... a song... His lovingkindness... carries me... All my journey long...
