Chapters

If you're not gonna move this mountain— mountain and the sea. Yes, I'm trapped between the mountain and the sea. If you're not going to move this mountain, if you're not going to part the raging tide, if you're not going to move this mountain, will you help me across to the other side? Will you help But it feels like you have given more than me. Yes, it feels like you have given more than me. So if you're not gonna move this mountain, if you're not gonna part the raging tide, if you're not gonna move this mountain, will you help me cross to the other side? You held me across to the other side. Lord, I know you never promise roses. I know the rain will fall in the sky. I know a better man than me walked to Hill Calvary. Sometimes it takes a cross to set us free.
