For Every Mountain

One of my absolute favorite gospel songs is "For Every Mountain" from Kurt Carr's 1997 CD No one else.  This powerful song, full of crescendos and modulations is lead by Yvette Williams of the Kurt Carr Singers, brings me to tears and deep contemplation of the awesomenss of God everytime I hear it. 

For every mountain, you've brought me over
For every trial, you've seen me through
For every blessing -- Hallelujah, for this I give you praise.

I've got so much to thank God for.
So many wonderful blessings and so many open doors.
A brand new mercy, along with each new day
That's why I praise you, and for this I give you praise.

For waking me up this morning
For starting me on my way
For letting me see the sunshine of a brand new day
That's why I praise you -- For this I give you praise.

You're Jehavah Jireh
You've been my provider
So many times You've met my need
So many times you've rescued me
That's why I praise you -- For this I give you praise.

For every mountain, you've brought me over
For every trial, you've seen me through
For every blessing -- Hallelujah, for this I give you praise.

Beloved, many times life is like climbing a mountain.  You will have so mountain top experiences which would have proven to be impossible through your own efforts, but with God the impossible becomes possible.  You will have some valley low moments in which you may feel desserted.  But just as every day has a beginning and end; so will the mountain that you're climbing at this moment.  You may have tears in your eyes, but realize that weeping only endures for a night, but joy will come with the morning light.  Psalm 139 reminds us that there is no place where God is not present.  Whether you're on the mountain top, the valley or somewhere in the middle, know that God is there with you.  Check out the youtube link.
