Move
C.Smith & J.Selway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking in a land full of lost
I see their pain clear as day
And I have the soothing answer
Wish that they would know my Lord
Such would be sweet to my soul
He is peace brought to life
He sought not His will but
My soul weeps at the word of the Lord
All fall short of the glory of God
And again, I weep, this time for joy
Knowing God sent Christ for you and me
It seems so long since I last spoke
On behalf of those like me
They are stubborn in heart
Solid as mountains set in their ways
God's been known to shake the earth
To move a mountain where He pleases
I would not wish ill on anyone
But if it saves their soul
Maybe shaking's the way to go
I have faith so I'll say
Move, Mountain, move

First heard this on the DJ Dan Essential Mix just before the turn of the millennium. Mixed this absolutely brilliantly, such a talent. This was the only track from that mix I had to get though, hard to find words for how great it is, better just shut up, close eyes and enjoy <3
