Mountain by Melanie R.

Mountain by Melanie R.

Oh, moved that mountain!

Go tell it-
Go tell it on the mountain!
Jesus got me over that mountain!
Go tell it on the mountain,
Jesus Christ’s My Lord!

Couldn’t get over it.
Couldn’t go under it.
Couldn’t climb to the top.
Couldn’t get past that big ol’ mountain on my own.

From the bottom-
Where I called Him.
When I lifted up mine eyes.

Faith was tested, but I trusted
All His strength- not mine!

Brought me to the other side!

Strength in the struggle,
Power in my prayer.
Cast in the sea,
Moved that big ol’ mountain from here to there!

Echos from the canyon!
Hallelujah!

Jesus!
Oh, Jesus!
Moved that mountain!

Told it to move! Get outta my way!

Told it to move! Get outta my way!

Oh, sun is shining so much brighter!
Nothing standing in my way!
See the horizon?
God is Mighty!
God is Mighty!

My God so Mighty!

Oh, moved that mountain!

Go tell it-
Go tell it on the mountain.
Jesus got me over that mountain.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Jesus Christs my lord

Couldn’t get over it.
Couldn’t go under it.
Couldn’t climb to the top.
Couldn’t get past that big ol’ mountain on my own.

From the bottom-
Where I called Him.
When I lifted up mine eyes.

Faith was tested, but I trusted.
All on His strength- not mine.

Brought me to the other side!

Go tell it-
Go tell it on the mountain.
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain-
Jesus Christ’s My Lord!

Moved that mountain!
Jesus Christ’s My Lord!

A Little About Me " CosmicTigress "

✨️ Hello ✨️ I am your group leader. I am a Reiki Master and began learning Reiki in 2013. I have some medical background and my own personal medical history of course. I find Reiki to be very helpful especially helping to feel more balanced, grounded, and relaxed. It helps me with my stress and #energylevels #ChronicPain #Anxiety and #MentalHealth (dx with #JointHypermobilitySyndrome ( possible #EhlersDanlosSyndrome ) #PolycysticOvarySyndrome aka #pmos #IrritableBowelSyndromeIBS ( technically PI-IBS ) #Anxiety #Bipolar2 and a few other joint issues). I am happy to share Reiki with others. All you have to do is ask or at least let me know you are open to receiving Reiki. I am not going to assume.
I love cosmic things: astronomy, astrology, stargazing, etc. & I love tigers, they are very special to me. I'm a big fan of cats - big and small.
I also love crystals, card readings, and aromatherapy. I enjoy movies and music. I am very creative and would like to do more art! What about YOU!? 😃

It's Okay to Need Help

This thought really hit me. There have been times in all of our lives where we are drowning so much, we can't even think of how to ask for help- let alone actually do it.
I want you to know that you are worthy of help, hope and healing. It's okay to admit when you're struggling.
