Words and Music by Mark Mathes
Lyrics:
I faced a mountain
That I never faced before
That's why I'm calling on You Lord
I know it's been a while
But Lord please hear my prayer
I need You like I never have before
Sometimes it takes a mountain
Sometimes a troubled sea
Sometimes it takes a desert
To get a hold of me
Your love is so much stronger
Than whatever troubles me
Sometimes it takes a mountain
To trust You and believe
Forgive me Jesus
I thought I could control
Whatever life would throw my way
But this I will admit
Has brought me to my knees
I need You Lord and I'm not ashamed to say
Sometimes it takes a mountain
Sometimes a troubled sea
Sometimes it takes a desert
To get a hold of me
Your love is so much stronger
Than whatever troubles me
Sometimes it takes a mountain
To trust You and believe
Sometimes it takes a mountain
To trust You and believe
Sometimes it takes a mountain
Sometimes a troubled sea
Sometimes it takes a desert
To get a hold of me (get a hold, get a hold of me)
Your love is so much stronger
Than whatever troubles me
Sometimes it takes a mountain
To trust You and believe (trust You and believe)
Sometimes it takes a mountain
To trust You and believe
