Verse 1

My eyes are on the mountain top, I’m running for my life, I’ve left old Sodom to the flames, With all its sin and strife.

I’m to the Highlands bound, I’m seeking higher ground; I can’t remain in all the plain, I’m to the Highlands bound.

Verse 2

The angel voice has come to me, And cautioned me to go, And now obedient to His word, I leave this land of woe.

Chorus

I’m to the Highlands bound, I’m seeking higher ground; I can’t remain in all the plain, I’m to the Highlands bound.

Verse 3

They called me crazy as I left, They laughed at my alarm; But I have heard the Saviour’s voice, I’m running from the storm.

Chorus

I’m to the Highlands bound, I’m seeking higher ground; I can’t remain in all the plain, I’m to the Highlands bound.

Verse 4

Some started with me and looked back, But forward yet I press; I’m bound to reach the mountain top, In holiness and peace.

I’m to the Highlands bound, I’m seeking higher ground; I can’t remain in all the plain, I’m to the Highlands bound.
