I faced a mountain
That I never faced before
That's why I'm calling on the Lord
I know it's been awhile
Lord please hear my prayer
I need you like I never have before
Chorus:
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
Then whatever troubles me
Sometimes it takes a mountain
To trust you and believe
Far from you 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
(Repeat chorus)
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
Then whatever troubles me
Sometimes it takes a mountain
Sometimes it takes a mountain
To trust you and believe

This Southern gospel song from the Gaithers speaks the poignant truth that sometimes it takes a mountain to bring us closer to God and grow our faith. The lyrics by Mark Mathes and Gloria Gaither give us hope to keep walking through whatever struggle we are facing and ultimately turn to the One who makes us stronger.
“Sometimes it Takes a Mountain” is a song about faith getting a chance to shine through in the darkest of circumstances when we cannot stand on our own. Mathes said he was inspired while driving up the rolling hills of Highway 65 between Springfield and Branson.
“I was looking around thinking, ‘How can anyone look at these mountains and not think of God?’” Mathes said. “The more I thought, I realized that mountains are going to come up in our lives and they should always point us toward God. By the time I got to the studio in Branson I’d written the song.”
