Lord, Don't Move That Mountain

by Doris Akers & Mahalia Jackson

Lord, don't move that mountain
Give me strength to climb it
Please don't move that stumbling block
But lead me, Lord, around it

My burdens, they get so heavy
Seems hard to bear
But I won't give up
Because You promised me
You'd meet me at the altar of prayer

Lord, don't move that mountain
Please, don't move that mountain
But give me strength to climb it

The movie The Pursuit of Happyness uses real glide church members and attendees extras in some of the scenes featuring the church, where Christopher Gardner and his son received desperately-needed shelter.
