Mountain
Hillsong Worship Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1
See a light in the darkness
A city shining without a veil
This hill becoming a mountain
A solid rock that will never fail

Chorus 1
Your Name my hope
Fortress in the raging storm
My heart is Your home
Jesus let Your love take hold

Verse 2
The Stone the builders rejected
Laid to ransom a fractured bride
Our crushing weight on Your shoulders
You stand forever with arms stretched wide

(Bridge 1)
For Your Name
Heart and soul
My life is Yours a living stone
For Your glory
Heart and soul
Surrendered all to build a home

(Bridge 2)
Your Name my sure foundation
The hope of glory for one and all
Your love endures forever
A holy mountain that will not fall

(Bridge 3)
All the earth welcome home
In every heart Your will be done
All creation welcome home
This hope is ours
Your kingdom come

(Bridge 4)




We cry holy holy holy
We cry holy is Your Name

Overall Meaning

In Hillsong Worship's song Mountain, the lyrics describe a city shining through the darkness, without a veil. This is metaphorical for hope and light shining in the midst of darkness and gloom. This light then becomes a hill that grows into a mountain, a solid rock that will never fail. This symbolizes the unshakable and immovable foundation that is Jesus Christ, and how faith in Him will never falter or waver, no matter what storms may come.


The chorus reinforces this message, with the singer talking about how Jesus is their hope and their fortress in the midst of the raging storm. They express how their heart belongs to God, and they surrender everything to Him, letting His love take hold. The second verse talks about Christ as the rejected stone that was laid to ransom the fractured bride. This is a reference to the story of the crucifixion, where Christ was rejected by the very people He came to save, but ultimately sacrificed Himself to redeem them. The song ends with the bridge, expressing the singer's commitment to God and their belief that His love endures forever, and that His kingdom will come.

I have many worship songs that I love but this one.... THIS work of beautiful art, THIS gift, THIS anointed & colorful fabric of music & passionate voices, woven together with a great cloud of witnesses & brushes of angels wings and breath... THIS song is FAR & AWAY my absolute personal favorite worship song of all time!

What a blessing to be able to go to my quiet place, put on my earbuds and fall before His holy presence, worshipping the Lord in SPIRIT & TRUTH. Also experiencing a little bit of this amazing time & place when this gathering assembled, to worship our master, our savior and friend. Thank you Hillsong and thanks for sharing.

Whoever is reading this, may the Lord of Lords bless you today and forevermore.

Well said! No doubt about it...nothing else even comes close. Lyrics aside, it's fantastic composition; the lyrics, of course, take it to the next level.

@millionchuks4783

2023 anyone? This song still hits me deeper than ever.

@shaniamontara8057

I'm not a Christian. I grew up as one. But I listen to this everyday one day I'm gonna be one again. This song breaks me down and gives me hope. How could anyone hate this song. There is evil inside of you
