My God, what is the mountain

That I now have to climb,

So that, in this strange ascent,

I may draw closer to You in time?

It is the mountain of deep silence,

Where the soul bids farewell to fear,

It’s the difficult path of this world,

Where each step reveals the secret near.

Perhaps it’s not of stones or heights,

But the internal mountain of the heart,

Where doubts and sorrows

Transform into prayer, a brand new start.

Show me, Lord, the summit to reach,

So that in You I can always believe and teach.
