River Running Uphill
♪ Synced lyrics coming soon
Verse 1
In the last of days,
When the long night wears thin,
A mountain will rise
Where the ruins have been.
Over hills we have worshipped,
Over towers of pride —
The house of the Lord,
And the door open wide.
Pre-Chorus
And the nations will flow
Like rivers uphill,
Every wandering stream
To the Source calling still.
Chorus
Come, let us go up
To the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of Jacob's God,
Where the weary are restored.
He will teach us His ways,
We will walk in His paths —
Come, let us go up.
Verse 2
I built my own hilltops,
Cut my name into stone,
Climbed the ridge of my wanting
And called the summit home.
But a higher peak calls me,
And the way up is low —
I must come down from my mountains
If His ways I'm to know.
Pre-Chorus
And the nations will flow
Like rivers uphill,
Every wandering stream
To the Source calling still.
Bridge
Out of Zion, the law.
From Jerusalem, the Word.
Falling down to the valleys
Where His voice was never heard.
And the rivers climb to meet it...
And the Word comes down to stay...
And somewhere in the meeting
We learn to walk His way.
Final Chorus
Come, let us go up (go up)
To the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of Jacob's God,
Where the weary are restored.
He will teach us His ways,
We will walk in His paths —
Come, let us go up (go up),
Come, let us go up.
Outro
Rivers running uphill...
Come.
