Fresh Life Worship - Mountains Lyrics
Lyrics
You unleashed Your light to illuminate through the thickest void
Deep into the night, using only love, there You forged the stars
So why do I still doubt? When the rock and earth tower overhead?
My trouble and my sin are spreading ever upwards over me (But I know)
You can move the mountains in my heart
You can silence oceans
Overthrow the darkness, for I know
You can move the mountains
So why do I still doubt? When the rock and earth tower overhead?
My trouble and my sin are spreading ever upwards over me (But I know)
You can move the mountains in my heart
You can silence oceans
Overthrow the darkness, for I know
You can move the mountains
You can move the mountains in my heart
You can silence oceans
Overthrow the darkness, for I know
You can move the mountains
I might not understand, the ways of Your perfect plan
You guide and help me through, my doubts in what You can do
When I'm trapped between the waves, Desperate and in need of grace
Faithful to lead me on, Jesus You can pull me through ('cause)
You can move the mountains in my heart
You can silence oceans
Overthrow the darkness, for I know
You can move the mountains
You can move the mountains in my heart
You can silence oceans
Overthrow the darkness, for I know
You can move the mountains
You can move the mountains

Fresh Life Worship :: Mountains
Meaning & Inspiration
Fresh Life Worship's "Mountains," released on October 13, 2015, stands as a powerful declaration of faith, built on the unwavering truth of God's omnipotence and His intimate knowledge of our struggles. The song begins by painting a breathtaking picture of creation, reminding us of the same divine power that "unleashed Your light" and "forged the stars" out of seemingly nothing. This establishes the immense capability of the Creator, setting the stage for the song's central theme: that the same God who orchestrated the cosmos is intimately invested in our personal battles. The lyrics confront the often-present human tendency to doubt, even when faced with overwhelming evidence of God's past faithfulness. The imagery of "rock and earth tower[ing] overhead" and troubles "spreading ever upwards" vividly captures the feeling of being dwarfed by life's challenges, whether they are external circumstances or internal struggles with sin and doubt.
The core of "Mountains" lies in its resolute affirmation of God's power to overcome any obstacle, encapsulated in the repeated refrain, "You can move the mountains in my heart." This isn't just a wish or a plea; it's a statement of established truth. The "mountains" are a potent metaphor for the seemingly insurmountable difficulties that can weigh us down, our deepest fears, our habitual sins, and the anxieties that steal our peace. The song directly links this divine ability to "silence oceans" and "overthrow the darkness," echoing biblical accounts of God's command over the natural world and His victory over evil. This reminds us of passages like Psalm 93:4, which states, "Mightier than the thunders of great waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, is the Lord our God!" The struggle depicted is deeply relatable – the internal wrestling match between acknowledging God's power and succumbing to personal feelings of inadequacy.
The second verse deepens this personal connection, acknowledging the human inability to always grasp God's "perfect plan." It speaks to the moments when we feel "trapped between the waves," desperate for intervention. Yet, even in this vulnerability, the song finds its grounding in God's enduring "grace" and His promise to "lead me on." This directly aligns with the foundational Christian belief in Jesus Christ as the ultimate guide and deliverer, as the lyrics state, "Faithful to lead me on, Jesus You can pull me through." This speaks to the essence of divine grace – unearned favor and empowering strength that meets us in our weakness. The scriptural parallel here is immense, bringing to mind verses like Isaiah 41:10, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." "Mountains" serves not merely as a song, but as a spiritual anthem, encouraging listeners to anchor their hope not in their own strength, but in the boundless, transformative power of God, who is ever present to move the mountains in our lives.
