"Holy Mountain"

"Holy Mountain" by SourceCodeX Jesus Rock ballad circa late 90s FROM TIME IS A RIVER RELEASE 2012

 

I was once in a band called "Two or More" (I gave us that name.) We did covers of contemporary Christian rock and also original material. This is a song I wrote called "Holy Mountain". I played acoustic guitar, all electric guitar solos and did all the vocals. Lyrics were mine as well. Bass player was Keith Shearon and drums were by Robbie ?? -- hmm, can't remember his last name now. This was a one take recording. I added electric guitar solos and more vocals later after remastering original recording on a normal bias cassette. We played it one time and never again and never played it live. So, this is a rare song for me. 

 

To me, it has a strong message and a powerful delivery music-wise. Sad, that those days are gone but it was a learning experience, nonetheless, about clashing egos in a band. Ego has killed many a fine band.

LYRICS: 

 

We have seen Him 

A Light in the darkness 

We have heard Him, heard Him 

A voice cryin' in the wilderness 

We've seen the blood flowin', flowin' 

Underneath the darkened skies 

We've seen the Truth knowin', knowin' 

It was in His eyes 

 

We will go, go out to Him 

And we know we'll never will turn back again 

We have made up, made up our minds 

To leave the past, to leave the past behind 

 

We will climb the Holy, the Holy Mountainnnnnn 

We will go and see the One Who took away all our sin 

And now we're callin', callin' out to you 

Just because we want to, to see you there too 

 

We will go out, we will go out to Him 

We will climb the Holy Mountain 

Lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai heyyyyyyyyyyyy 

We will climb, Holy, ohh the Holy, the Holy Mountain, Mountain 

Holy Mountainnnnnnnnnnnnn 

 

Hope you enjoy it. 

 

THE IRONIC THING IS THAT AFTER WRITING THIS SONG, I THEN BECAME A SUMMIT MOUNTAIN CLIMBER, REACHING MOST ALL THE SUMMITS IN THE EASTERN US. THANKS FOR WATCHING AND LISTENING.
