[Intro]
G
[Strophe]
G 
Oh, the desert dreams of a river 
          D        C      G 
that will run down to the sea 
G 
like my heart longs for an ocean 
   D         C    G 
to wash down over me. 
[Refrain]
              C                 G 
Oh, won't you take me from this valley 
C                     D 
to that mountain high above?  
       G           D 
I will pray, pray, pray  
        Em               C 
until I see your smiling face.  
       G           D 
I will pray, pray, pray  
             G 
to the one I love.
[Strophe]
G 
Oh, the outcast dreams of acceptance, 
        D         C        G 
just to find pure love's embrace 
G 
like an orphan longs for his mother.  
    D           C       G 
May you hold me in your grace. 
[Refrain]
              C                 G 
Oh, won't you take me from this valley 
C                     D 
to that mountain high above?  
       G           D 
I will pray, pray, pray  
        Em               C 
until I see your smiling face.  
       G           D 
I will pray, pray, pray  
             G 
to the one I love.
[Pont]
G 
Oh, the caged bird dreams of a strong wind  
          D               C 
that will flow 'neath her wings.  
G 
Like a voice longs for a melody,  
    D           G 
oh, Jesus carry me. 
[Refrain]
              C                 G 
Oh, won't you take me from this valley 
C                     D 
to that mountain high above?  
       G           D 
I will pray, pray, pray  
        Em               C 
until I see your smiling face.  
       G           D 
I will pray, pray, pray  
             G 
to the one I love.
[Outro]
       G           D 
I will pray, pray, pray  
        Em               C 
until I see your smiling face.  
       G           D 
I will pray, pray, pray  
             G 
to the one I love.
