Way Up on the Mountain

(Ira Louvin - Anne Young)



I was down in the valley, way down in the valley

When the Saviour heard my feeble cry

Now I'm back up on the mountain. way up on the mountain

Drinking from the fountain that never will run dry.



There was darkness all around me when my Saviour found me

Way down in the valley of dispair

But when I told him all my troubles my joys and he doubled

I'm way up on the mountain rejoicing in his care.



Well, I was down in the valley, way down in the valley

When the Saviour heard my feeble cry

Now I'm back up on the mountain. way up on the mountain

Drinking from the fountain that never will run dry.



If it don't watch old Satan he'll get you in the valley

And hide you from the Saviour's guiding light

But he will stay behind you and he will never find you

Way up on the mountain if you fight the good fight.



Well, I was down in the valley, way down in the valley

When the Saviour heard my feeble cry

Now I'm back up on the mountain. way up on the mountain

Drinking from the fountain that never will run dry.



Well, I was down in the valley, way down in the valley

When the Saviour heard my feeble cry

Now I'm back up on the mountain. way up on the mountain

Drinking from the fountain that never will run dry.



Well, I say I was down in the valley, way down in the valley

When the Saviour heard my feeble cry

Now I'm back up on the mountain. way up on the mountain

Drinking from the fountain that never will run dry...
