So I will praise You on the mountain
And I will praise You when the mountain’s in my way
You’re the summit where my feet are
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
No less God within the shadows
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
You’re the heaven where my heart is
In the highlands and the heartache all the same

How do you praise God when the mountain won’t move? How do you love him through the heartache and pain?

You can’t praise him in your struggles if you’re blaming him for them.

If you’re feeling stuck, if you’re angry, if your life isn’t the way you pictured it, if 2020 has kicked you while you were down-what’s your response?

Blaming God is going to get you nowhere.

But you know what will? What will change everything?
Praising him.

Step away from your normal for a day. Find yourself on a mountain, under a waterfall, in front of the ocean, and I can guarantee that you’ll be able to breathe again..that you’ll be able to PRAISE AGAIN.

Whatever I walk through
Wherever I am
Your Name can move mountains
Wherever I stand
And if ever I walk through
The valley of death
I’ll sing through the shadows
My song of ascent
