How To Move A Mountain
By Cheri Call
When I was young I heard the stories
About the people who could
make the mountains flee
And every now and then, someone would tell me
I could do the same if I believed
So one summer night.
I looked out my window
And I closed my eyes
and listened to the wind blow.
And I tried to move a mountain
I wished for it to crumble at my feet
I tried one thing after another
but I couldn't shake a leaf
I never knew that the mountain
Had a lesson it would teach
Cause as tall as I got,
I still lived in it's shadow
I watched it tower over me
Til one summer day,
I thought I heard it call me
so I closed my eyes and then
changed into my blue jeans
And I learned how to move a mountain
It was harder than I dreamed it would be
But I set one foot down past the other
Til the mountain was under me
and I felt like I could see forever
When the truth hit my senses suddenly
This mountain wasn't really the first one that I'd moved God had seen my victory
Every time I put my weakness behind me
And I close my eyes and let His mercy find me
I know how to move a mountain
I have to fall down on my knees
Then I get back on my feet and head on upward
Til I make it to the peak
And the mountains under me.
