Chorus:
Climb that mountain, no matter how steep;
Ford that river, no matter how deep.
Jesus is coming, and it won't be long.
Preach that Gospel, keep singing that song.

Verse One:
We're forgetting all the things which are behind.
And we're reaching for the things which are before.
Pressing towards the mark for the prize-
-Of the high calling of God.
Though my weary body aches,
My broken spirit heart breaks,
Something down with in my soul
Tells me I've got to reach that goal.

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse Two:
And the valley, it is so low.-
And the people down there, they just don't know
That there's a mountain they can climb,
And it looks like they're running out of time.
But me, I'm gonna keep on climbing
'Til I reach the top,
I gotta keep on pressing in,
I'm not gonna stop 'til I reach the top.

[Repeat Chorus twice]
