Chorus
I would climb up an endless mountain for Your love
I would crawl across the mighty desert for Your love
You set the world in motion
You made the stars and oceans
And everything that breathes, Yeah
You cause the sky to thunder
You fill the world with wonder
And that amazes me
That you would plan all my days eternally
Long before I was born you dreamt of me
If it weren't for your company
Then where would I be
(Chorus)
I would climb up an endless moutain for Your love
I would crawl across the mighty desert for Your love
No one else can know me
No one else could hold me
The way you do
You fill my life with passion
And I cannot imagine a world without you
Looking down on the ground from up above
Can you feel my devotion and my love
If I could spend everyday with you
It wouldn't be enough
(Chorus)
I would climb up an endless mountain for Your love
I would crawl across the mighty desert for Your love
My love, I give it all to you
My love, I give it all to you
(Chorus)
I would climb up an endless mountain for Your love
