The mountains are steep   And the valleys low   Already I'm weary   But I have so far to go   Oh, and sorrow holds my hand   And suffering sings me songs   But when I close my eyes   I know to whom I belong   Who makes me strong      I will be free   I will be free to run the mountains   I will be free   Free to drink from the living fountain   Oh, I'll never turn back   'Cause He waits for me   Oh, I will be free      A wise man, a rich man   In pauper's clothes   A shepherd to lead us   Through the land of woes   Though many battles I have lost   So many rivers yet to cross   But when my eyes behold the Son   Who bore my loss, who paid the cost      I will be free   I will be free to run the mountains   I will be free   Free to drink from the living fountain   Oh, I'll never turn back   'Cause He waits for me   Oh, I will be free      Oh, and I'll dance on silver moonlight   And I'll walk through velvet fields   Oh, and I'll run into the arms   The arms that set me free      I will be free   I will be free to run the mountains   I will be free   Free to drink from the living fountain   Oh, I'll never turn back   'Cause He waits....   I'll never turn back   Don't you ever turn back   Because someday, someday we're gonna see   We will be free
