[Title: When the Mountain Met the King] [Short Intro: Acoustic guitar, bachata guitar answer, fiddle pickup] [Verse 1: Warm intimate female lead] Bill kept a place beside his heart For a brother torn away Just a baby when the family broke Still remembered every day Eighty years of doors and miles Of wondering where he'd been Till his granddaughter found the road That brought him home again [Pre-Chorus: Percussion lifts, soft harmony] Two old brothers, face to face No more years between In the shelter of that long embrace Love showed what finding means [Chorus: Bright country-bachata groove] When the mountain met the King All the valley learned to sing Mercy crossed the miles to bring A wandering heart back home Heaven rang that welcome bell Love reached down into my hell Jesus found me wandering When the mountain met the King [Short Turnaround: Requinto guitar and fiddle trade a phrase] [Verse 2: Steady storytelling, growing warmth] I had built my walls of pride Called the darkness my own way But the Shepherd crossed the hillside Where my frightened footsteps strayed With the flock secure behind Him He came searching after me Called me out of all my hiding To the life His love could give [Pre-Chorus: Rising harmonies] So I turned away from darkness Laid my burdens at His feet Not because I'd earned His kindness But because He came for me [Chorus: Add uplifting choir] When the mountain met the King All the valley learned to sing Mercy crossed the miles to bring A wandering heart back home Heaven rang that welcome bell Love reached down into my hell Jesus found me wandering When the mountain met the King [Bridge: Piano and acoustic guitar, prayerful lead] Jesus, You came looking When I couldn't find my way I repent and trust Your promise Let Your mercy lead my days Like two brothers holding tightly After years of being apart You have brought me to Your table You have welcomed home my heart [Final Chorus: Full band, joyful choir, soaring harmony] When the mountain met the King All the valley learned to sing Mercy crossed the miles to bring A wandering heart back home Heaven rang that welcome bell Love reached down into my hell Jesus found me wandering When the mountain met the King [Outro: Choir response, fiddle and steel resolve] [Lead] No more searching on my own [Choir] Jesus brought His lost sheep home [Lead] Now this mountain heart can sing [All] I've been found by Christ the King [Clean ending]
