**Lyrics Below — “Going Up That Mountain”** is our unplugged acoustic version-new gospel-blues song, performed in the style of late-1960s and early-1970s Southern soul, gospel, and blues-rock, with the kind of raw band energy associated with Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett and the Memphis/Stax tradition. Built on a steady upbeat full-time groove, the track combines acoustic and electric blues guitars, warm bass, Hammond organ, piano, audible hand percussion, loud congas, female backing singers, and punchy Stax-style Memphis soul horns. The sound is gritty, joyful, determined, and spiritually urgent, with warm analog character, a dry forward baritone lead, and a wide band mix that keeps the instruments present alongside the vocal.

**Dedicated to Bonnie Bramlett.**

The lyric follows a spiritual journey of repentance, baptism, perseverance, and faith: going down to the river, leaving pride behind, walking the narrow way, and pressing onward toward the mountain of the Lord. The female backing singers reinforce the communal gospel feel with short harmonies and response lines, while the instrumental arrangement keeps the song rooted in blues, Southern soul, and late-’60s/early-’70s musical style.

[Verse 1]

Going up that mountain

Going up the mountain of the Lord

Oh, I’m going up that mountain

Going up to the mountain of the Lord

Gonna make my way up the narrow way

Ain’t gonna turn around, ain’t gonna go astray

[Verse 2]

I’m heading down to the river

Heading down to the river to get baptized

Oh, I’m heading down to the river

Gonna go down and get baptized

Stop being foolish, throw away my pride, and gonna choose to be Holy and wise

Mercy Mercy Mercy Lord I Cry

Lord all my sins I now despise

Gonna follow you now Jesus-Lord, with every new sunrise

Lord, Have mercy!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

I’m going up that mountain

Oh, gonna climb that mountain so high

Lord, Lord, Lord

By Your grace alone this pilgrim will arrive

Pressing onward toward the heights

Keeping my eyes upon the prize (Jesus)

Gonna see my Lord when I get up there

Where the saints will never cry

So I’m going up that mountain

To be with my Lord the Most high

[Chorus]

You can go up that mountain

Oh, you can go up that mountain so high

You gotta seek the Lord with all your soul and heart

And from His word you'll never depart

You gotta be baptized, filled with the Holy Ghost

Put your faith in Jesus He's The Most

You gotta believe, (Believe)

believe in the Lord

He will see you safely through

[Outro]

[Verse 2]

I’m heading down to the river

Heading down to the river to get baptized

Then I’m going up that mountain

Oh, gonna climb that mountain so high

Pressing onward toward the heights

Keeping my eyes upon the prize (Jesus)

Pressing onward toward the heights

Keeping my eyes upon the prize (Jesus)

I’m going up that mountain (going up that mountain)

Oh, gonna climb that mountain so high

I’m going up that mountain (going up that mountain)

**Lyrics Below.** *You Are My Refuge* is a driving 70s Style Southern Rock- Roots-Rock song about running to Jesus as refuge, shield, and shelter when the storms of life close in. **El Shaddai** is a Hebrew title for God, traditionally translated **“God Almighty”** or **“Almighty God.”** The song draws especially from the imagery of Psalm 91, where the one who dwells in the shelter of the **Most High** abides under the shadow of **the Almighty**. In Hebrew, **Elyon** means “Most High,” while **Shaddai** is traditionally understood as “Almighty.” Together, the imagery expresses trust in God as protection, refuge, and security in times of danger and trouble.

**[Verse 1]**

You are the one I go to

When the storm clouds gather round

Oh, when a cold north wind blows

You're a shelter to be found

With everything in me (Jesus)

I'm gonna worship You

I'm gonna worship—only You

**[Chorus]**

You are everything I need

You take me up when I'm down

Under the shadow of Your wings I abide

In the shelter of El Shaddai

With the Most High

**[Verse 2]**

You are the one I run to

When the arrows like rain fall

You are a shield around me

You are my refuge through it all

Lyrics Below. “Dancing in the Rain” is a song of gratitude, love, and the joy of living in the presence of Jesus. Moving through images of mercy, revelation, changing seasons, new birth, and harvest, the song reflects on the faithfulness of God and the childlike joy that comes from knowing His love. From the declaration of worship in Spirit And Truth To the closing reminder that we love Him because He first loved us, the song looks forward with hope: the end is the beginning, and the best is yet to be.

Everything that I know about You

Everywhere that I go

Everything that I've seen about You

Unveils the depth of Your love so true

Lord Jesus

I want to let You know

I love You

Oh, I just want to go to be in Your presence, Lord

There is no one like You on this earth

And I will always worship You in spirit and truth

You make my heart like a child dancing in the rain

Nothing compares to the love You show

Nowhere could I go

Nothing but Your mercy You show me

Revelation that gave me eyes to see

Lord Jesus

I want to let You know

I love You

Oh, I just want to go to be in Your presence, Lord

There is no one like You on this earth

And I will always worship You in spirit and truth

You make my heart like a child dancing in the rain

Leaves blowing in the Fall

Snow in Winter blankets All

Spring new life emerges like the New Birth

Summer brings a harvest from the earth

Jesus, The end is the Beginning

The Best is yet to be!

Oh, I just want to go to be in Your presence, Lord

There is no one like You on this earth

And I will always worship You in spirit and truth

You make my heart like a child dancing in the rain

You make my heart like a child dancing in the rain

You make my heart like a child dancing in the rain

I Love You Lord

Because You First loved me

Jesus

I Love You

Because You First loved me

We Love You Lord

Because You First loved Us

Jesus

We Love You

Because You First loved us

Lyrics Below. “The Resolution Of Time” is a reflective acoustic song about looking back over a lifetime of faith, family, memories, joy, , marriage, children, and the passing years. Some memories fade while others return through music, but through every season Jesus remains the One to call upon. The song centers on redeeming the time as night draws near and awaiting His return, with “the resolution of time” expressing the idea of life’s tensions finally resolving in Him, like a musical progression returning home.

[Verse 1]

In the bright morning I know You are there

Eyes open—I breathe a prayer

Over memories of yesteryear

Of days of joy and days of tears

I redeem the time as night draws near

Awaiting Your Return

[Chorus]

I, I always call upon You

You are the One I run to

In the morning or at night

I know that You are always there

In You I find peace in prayer

[Verse 2]

How time seems to pass as the day is long

Those days of youth now gone

Some memories like smoke have disappeared

But sometimes a song can make them reappear

I redeem the time as night draws near

Awaiting Your Return

[Chorus]

I, I always call upon You

You are the One I run to

In the morning or at night

I know that You are always there

In You I find peace in prayer

[Bridge]

I see the light shining through me

And I wanna go up to You

For there is nothing out there I could find

Just the resolution

Resolution of time

[Verse 3]

A Godly wife, Lord, that is by my side

From days of youth till journey's end

Adventures with You, Jesus, around each and every bend

With our precious children You did send

I redeem the time as night draws near

Awaiting Your Return

[Chorus]

I, I always call upon You

You are the One I run to

In the morning or at night

I know that You are always there

In You I find peace in prayer

I, I always call upon You

You are the One I run to

In the morning or at night

I know that You are always there

In You I find peace in prayer

I redeem the time as night draws near

**Lyrics Below.** “Gonna Worship You No Matter What I’m Going Through” is a catchy rootsy blues song I write built around a recurring guitar-and-vocal motif, with the voice singing “doo” in exact unison with the guitar line. Written about years ago, the song carries a simple declaration of faith through every circumstance—choosing to worship, look to God, and praise Him no matter what life brings. Blues guitar, Hammond B3, piano, and the recurring vocal/guitar riff give the song its earthy, soulful character.

**[Verse 1]**

I'm gonna worship You

No matter what I'm going through

I'm gonna worship You

No matter what I'm going through

**[Chorus]**

'Cause You alone are holy

You alone, my God, are true

You alone are holy

You alone, my God, are true

**[Vocal/Guitar Motif]**

*“Doo” vocal follows the guitar riff note-for-note in unison*

**[Verse 2]**

I'm gonna look to You

No matter what I'm going through

I'm gonna look to You

No matter what I'm going through

**[Chorus]**

'Cause You alone are holy

You alone, my God, are true

You alone are holy

You alone, my God, are true

**[Vocal/Guitar Motif]**

**[Instrumental Break]**

*Variations on the motif with ES-335 guitar, Hammond B3 organ and piano*

**[Verse 3]**

I'm gonna praise You (Lord)

No matter what I'm going through

I'm gonna praise You

No matter what I'm going through

**[Chorus]**

'Cause You alone are holy

You alone, my God, are true

You alone are holy

You alone, my God, are true

**[Vocal/Guitar Motif]**

**[Verse 4]**

I'm gonna praise Your Name (Jesus)

And I'll never be the same

I'm gonna praise Your Name (Jesus)

And I'll never be the same

**[Chorus]**

'Cause You alone are holy

You alone, my God, are true

You alone are holy

You alone, my God, are true

**[Vocal/Guitar Motif]**

I'm gonna praise Your Name (Jesus)

And I'll never be the same

I'm gonna praise Your Name (Jesus)

And I'll never be the same
