If You’re Not Gonna Move This Mountain
Words and Music by Rick James
How in the world did I get here?
How in the world do I leave?
The promised land is straight ahead but just beyond my grasp
I’m trapped between the mountain and the sea
I’m trapped between the mountain and the sea


If You’re not gonna move this mountain
If you’re not gonna part the raging tides
If Your not gonna move this mountain
Will You help me across to the other side


Why in the world do deserve this?
Why is it too dark for me to see?
You said you’d never give us anymore than we can bear?
But it feels like You have given more to me.
But it feels like You have given more to me.

If You’re not gonna move this mountain
If you’re not gonna part the raging tides
If Your not gonna move this mountain
Will You help me across to the other side

Lord I know You never promised roses.
And I know the rain will fall in this life
And I know a better man than me walked the hill to calvary
Sometimes it takes a cross…to set us free

If You’re not gonna move this mountain
If you’re not gonna part the raging tides
If Your not gonna move this mountain
Will You help me across to the other side
Will you help me to bear my cross to the other side
