Lyrics

Lord Don't Move the Mountain

Chorus:
Lord, don't move my mountain
Give me the strength to climb
Lord, don't move my stumbling blocks
Just lead me all around.

Verse One:
Our cares, we bring on to you
You told us Lord, that we could
You promised to help those, who help themselves
And I believe that you will

Verse Two:
The way may not be easy
You didn't say that it would be
For when our tribulations get too light
Well, we tend to stray from thee
Have Mercy Lord!

Chorus:
Please, don't move my mountain
Give me the strength to climb
Lord, don't move my stumbling blocks
But lead me all around.

Chorus:
Lord, don't move my mountain
Give me the strength to climb
Lord, don't move my stumbling blocks
But lead me all around.

Verse Three:
Lord I don't bother nobody
I treat everyone the same
But every time I turn my back
Some twist my words and slander my name

Verse Four:
So when they come to hurt us
And we know, these things they will do
Lord don't touch them cept' within their hearts
Just help them find their way home to You.
Have Mercy Lord!

Chorus:
Please, don't move my mountain
Give me the strength to climb
Lord, don't move my stumbling blocks
Just lead me all around.
Lord, don't move the mountain
Give me the strength to climb
Lord, don't move my stumbling blocks
But lead me all around.
Lead me all around.
Lord, don't move
My mountain...
