Verse 1
I hear the call of the mountain peak,
I hear the wind sing its wild, free song, -
I sense the joy and the peace I seek,
And I know I've stayed in the valley too long.-

Chorus1
So I'll bid goodbye to the shadow lands,
The glittering lies and the empty plans,
And head out up that winding mountain trail.
I'll put my hand into Jesus' hand,
Knowing He cares and He understands.
His love will guide me without fail
Up that winding mountain trail.

Verse 2
Sure there'll be cold winds against my face,
Sure there'll be sharp thorns that pierce my feet,
But how those dark clouds will fade away
When I stand on that glorious mountain peak.

Chorus 2
Whoa, I'll bid goodbye to the shadow lands [shadow lands],
The glittering lies and the empty plans,
And head out up that winding mountain trail.
I'll put my hand into Jesus' hand, [Jesus hand,]
Knowing He cares and understands.
His love will guide me without fail
Up that winding mountain trail.

Chorus 3
So I'll bid goodbye to the shadow lands,
The glittering lies and the empty plans,
And head out up that winding mountain trail .
[Winding mountain trail.]
I'll put my hand into Jesus' hand,
Knowing He cares and He understands.
His love will guide me without fail
Up that winding mountain trail,
Winding mountain trail.
