There is a mountain in between
What You have said and what I I see
Standing before this offering
My failing heart will fight to believe
On this altar, on this road
You have called me from my home
The weight I carry is not my own
Spirit move this heart of stone
How can I walk in my new name?
"Father of many," a promise You gave
And on this altar, and on this road
I lay down my flesh and bones
And here on this mountain I have climbed
Wrestling doubts that flood my mind
When ashes and dust are all that remain
The hope for the world still comes from my vein
On this altar, on this road
You have called me from my home
The weight I carry is not my own
Spirit move this heart of stone
How can I walk in my new name?
"Father of many," a promise You gave
And on this altar, and on this road
I lay down my flesh and bones
And I will sing out
Until I believe now
You're faithful to carry me
Oh I will sing out
Until I believe now
You're faithful to carry me
On this altar, on this road
You have called me from my home
The weight I carry is not my own
Spirit move this heart of stone
How can I walk in my new name?
"Father of many," a promise You gave
And on this altar, and on this road
I lay down my flesh and bones
