"The Holy Mountain"
lyrics and music by Benjamin Newman

/ G - D - / C - D - / G - CD G / C - D - /

The Holy Mountain is the place I seek,
For my God has told me I must reach the peak:
From the Holy Mountain, He will hear my prayer,
But of all the mountains in the world out there...

	/ C - D G /

	The Holy Mountain could be anywhere.

The Holy Mountain is wherever you stand
To give praise and thanks, and the Holy Land
Is wherever you live, if you live in peace
With a love of justice, may it never cease...

And the Holy Scriptures are the stories you tell
When you teach your children how to get along well,
And the bread of Heaven is the bread you share,
And the breath of God is your city air...

	'Cause the Holy Mountain could be anywhere.

The Holy Mountain gets plenty of rain,
And the living water flows down to the plain,
And it pours right out into your kitchen sink,
And it's not God's fault if it's not fit to drink!

'Cause the Holy Mountain is the tower we build
In the world we're given, with the power we wield,
And we've put it through a lot of wear and tear,
And if it's ours to use, it's ours to help repair...

	'Cause the Holy Mountain could be anywhere.

The Holy Mountain is sufficiently wide
To hold everybody, standing side by side,
But we'll only fit if we can get along,
And if we stop complaining that our neighbor's wrong...

The Holy Mountain is sufficiently tall
To look down and see that the world is small,
And the Chosen People are the ones who care,
And the Throne of Glory is a folding chair,

	'Cause the Holy Mountain could be anywhere.
