Lyrics
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
That's why I praise You
For starting me on my way
That's why I praise You
For letting me see the sunshine of a brand new day
A brand new mercy along with each new day
That's why I praise You
For this I give You praise
You're Jehovah Jireh
That's why I praise You
You've been my provider
That's why I praise You
So many times You met my need, So many times You rescued me
That's why I praise You
I wanna thank You for the blessings You give to me each day
That's why I praise You
For this I give You praise
For every mountain You brought me over
For every trial you've seen me through
For every blessing
Hallelujah, for this I give You praise

Meaning & Inspiration
For Every Mountain is a song of gratitude shaped by remembered acts of divine care. It begins with blessings, open doors, morning mercy, and the gift of another day, then moves into personal testimony about provision and rescue. Naming God as Jehovah Jireh reinforces the theme that every need has been met by divine faithfulness. The refrain gathers these details into praise for each obstacle overcome, trial endured, and blessing received.
The reference to new mercy each day closely echoes Lamentations, while the language of God as provider recalls the name Abraham gives the place where provision appears in Genesis. The song’s praise is concrete rather than abstract: waking, guidance, sunlight, rescue, and daily needs all become reasons for thanksgiving. Its repeated “That’s why I praise You” connects worship to remembrance, presenting gratitude as a response to God’s care across both ordinary mornings and difficult trials.
