Written in 2006 in the wake of a West Virginia coal mine disaster.
Hold Up That Mountain (Coal Miners Prayer) Chorus Hold up that mountain Hold up that mountain Hold up that mountain, Lord Hold it for me. You've got the whole world in Your hands And Your strength is what I need Hold up that mountain, Lord Hold it up for me. V1 Every day is a gift I know I don't take it for granted, Lord So if You'll keep me just one more day I'll live it like I appreciate V2 Lord you know just what I'm going through You spent three days in the heart of the earth, too So when this burden presses down on me I call to You, saying, 'Oh, Lord, please (hold up that mountain)' V3 Watch over my family while I'm away Help 'em not worry about me today. And if this moment should be my last I'll be safe with You, but until it's past, please (hold up that mountain) © 2006 Words/Music by Lisa Crum
