Amy Grant's song 'Mountain Top' explores the tension between the joy of worship and the call to serve others. She describes the delight of singing, praying, and fellowshipping with God, wishing she could stay on that spiritual high. However, she realizes that believers must come down from the mountain to reach people in the valley, sharing the hope that they too can encounter God. The song emphasizes that true worship extends beyond songs to everyday actions, letting the Spirit live through us. It's a gentle reminder that faith is both personal and missional, balancing devotion with service.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I love to sing and I love to pray
Worship the Lord most everyday
I go to the temple, and I just want to stay
To hide from the hustle of the world and its ways
[Chorus:]
And I'd love to live on a mountain top
Fellowshipping with the Lord
I'd love to stand on a mountain top
'Cause I love to feel my spirit soar
But I've got to come down from that mountain top
To the people in the valley below
Or they'll never know that they can go
To the mountain of the Lord
Now, praising the Father is a good thing to do
Worship the Trinity in spirit and truth
But if we worshipped all of the time
There would be no one to lead the blind
[Chorus]
Now, I am not saying that worship is wrong
But worship is more than just singing a song
It's all that you say, and everything that you do
It's letting His Spirit live through you
[Chorus]
