Lyrics
Verse 1
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, Lord for this I give You the praise.
Verse 2
For waking 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. (That's why I praise you)
Of a brand new day. (Ooooh...)
For a brand new mercy. (That's why I praise You)
You give to me each new day. (That's why I praise You)
That's why I praise You (For this I give You praise)
Verse 3
You're Jehovah Jireh. (That's why I praise You)
Lord, you've been my provider. (That's why I praise You)
So many times You met my needs. (That's why I praise You)
So many times You rescued me (Ooooh...)
I wanna thank You for the blessings. (That's why I praise You)
You give me each and every day. (That's why I praise You)
Oh that's why I praise You. (For this I give You praise)
Chorus
For every mountain, You've bought 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 thanksgiving that moves from daily mercies to testimony about God’s provision. The opening verse counts blessings, open doors, and the gift of a new day. Its next sections name specific reasons for praise: waking, sunshine, mercy, met needs, and rescue. That progression keeps the lyrics concrete and grateful.
The chorus galhers those details into a broad confession of God’s faithfulness through mountains, trials, and blessings. Its language echoes biblical praise for renewed mercy and God’s care in difficulty, while the name Jeovah Jireh underscores the theme of provision. The repeated response, “That’s why I praise You,” gives the song a testimonial character suited to congregational singing. The central thought is clear: praise flows from remembering the ways God has sustained, guided, and provided.
