LORD DON'T MOVE THAT MOUNTAIN

I have been struggling for many days now,

Wondering which way to go...

I am climbing a mountain...

Just a few more feet, then I can lay down my burdens

And rest beneath the trees.

Lord don't move that mountain,

For I have been praising you as I go...

You alone know what I am going through

Please help me to reach my goal

Lord Let me climb that mountain and collect my many rewards:

A rest beneath the trees,

A song bird to sing for me as I enjoy the peaceful breeze

Lord don't move that mountain its all I can see.

If the view from the top is as lovely as the one I see here at the bottom,

Then my hard work will all be worth it,

As at the top I rejoice.

Well would you look over there,

Some more are climbing too!

Lord, help me up this mountain,

For the valley I have already battled through

I don't think I can climb any more...

Father lend me a hand,

Help me climb this mountain so that view I can adore

I thought I was slipping Lord and my hands could hold no more

Than a stranger reached his hand into mine and pulled me over the edge

I made it to the top!

With your help Lord

You sent someone to help me when I began to fall

Then you gave them the strength to lift me up,

Burdens and all!

Father you are so merciful

I thank you for the mountains we climb each day

But most of all Lord, I thank you

For those you send to help along the way.
