Citizen Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is all that it takes
Until the dam finally breaks
And I'm safe in Your peace
Past all understanding
One choice one choice
Tell me why do I wait
You tell I don't have to be afraid
And maybe I'm crazy
Or maybe it's crazy not to believe
You still move mountains
You still move mountains
You made them stand tall
You can make them look small
So I'm gonna trust You
No matter what
You still move mountains
One life one life is all that I have
I wanna spend it on the things that'll last
Like Billy Graham and my dad
Wanna make You famous
Oh Your spirit within me
Says I can do all things
If I would believe
You still move mountains
You still move mountains
You made them stand tall
You can make them look small
So I'm gonna trust You
No matter what
You still move mountains
You still move mountains
It's so overwhelming
But I know this one thing
And I'm gonna see it yea
You still move mountains
You still move mountains
You made them stand tall
You can make them look small
So I'm gonna trust You
No matter what
You still move mountains
You still move mountains
I know You're gonna make a way
I believe it cuz You beat the grave
So I'm praying would You make a way
I pray I pray
In Jesus name
I pray I pray
In Jesus name
I pray I pray
In Jesus name
You still move
You still move
Mountains
The song “Mountains” by Citizen Way is a powerful anthem about trusting in God’s ability to overcome the seemingly impossible. The song begins with the idea that taking just one step towards God is all that it takes for the dam to finally break and the peace of God to flood in. Despite God’s reassurances, the singer admits to feeling afraid and unsure, begging God for help.
As the song progresses, the singer recognizes that they have been given one life to live and expresses a desire to spend it on things that will last, such as making God famous. The power of the Holy Spirit within them empowers them to believe that all things are possible.
The chorus is a declaration that God still moves mountains and has the power to make the biggest obstacles look small. The singer concludes with a prayer, acknowledging that despite feeling overwhelmed, they know that God is capable of making a way where there seems to be no way.
Overall, the song “Mountains” is an encouragement to trust in God’s ability to overcome the impossible, even when we feel afraid or overwhelmed. It reminds us that we can do all things through Christ, who gives us strength.
