Analysis of MOUNTIANS STILL CRUMBLE
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
MOUNTAINS STILL CRUMBLE
Lord help to hit my knees
I'll lift to you my pleas
Now as I did at the start
Stop the storm, tearing me apart
Fire from the sky, falls
Lord my heart calls
The seas rise, I drown
The world falls all 'round
As the storms rise
All around hope dies
God says," be still and know
I am God, and my peace will grow"
And then peace engulfed me
Right there in the raging sea
The storm quickly quieted within
As His grace conquered my sin
The wind calms on the sea
If Christ is for me,
Who can stand against?
Our faith is never fenced
When we stay true and humble
The mountains still crumble
But the giants fall before
As our knees hit the floor
AMEN

About this poem
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17 20
