You Gave Me A Mountain Lyrics - Ray Price

Born in the heat of the desert my mother died giving me life 

Deprived of the love of a father blamed for the loss of his wife 

You know Lord I've been in a prison for something that I've never done 

It's been one hill after another but I've climbed them all one by one 

But this time Lord you gave me a mountain a mountain I may never climb 

And it isn't a hill any longer you gave me a mountain this time 

My woman got tired of the hardships tired of the grief and the strife 

So tired of working for nothing tired of being my wife 

She took my one ray of sunshine she took my pride and my joy 

She took my reason for living she took my small baby boy 

So this time Lord you gave me
