The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Lord's Day

The Proclaimers, "Love Can Move Mountains" from Notes & Rhymes (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary: God is love (1 John, 4:8). I freely admit that I take a certain & undeniable pleasure in taking songs intended to be secular & bending them toward the religious.
"A cynical mind won't help you through the night
And it can't hold you up when you're too tired to fight.
Where you didn't have the strength to look after yourself,
You'd find all that you need for somebody else.

"But love can move mountains!
Love can move mountains!
Love can move mountains, yes it can.
Love can move mountains!

"That impossible task you're thinking of
Is one you can complete when you're driven by love,
And the strength that you find won't go slipping away:
Once it enters your soul, it's reborn every day…

"Be thankful every day that it stays, that it stays…

"But love can move mountains!
Love can move mountains!
Love can move mountains, yes it can.
Love can move mountains!
Love can move mountains, yes it can.
Love can move mountains!
Love can move mountains!
Love can move mountains!
Love can move mountains!"
