A Briefing For The Ascent

Take a burning spear

And the Savior's promise

Ride a horse of air

Through the burning forest

With our father's faith

And a child's wonder

Down the halls of grace

By his mercy go under

It will seem so sudden

Yes, but through God's will

The season will dream and

Time will stand still

For hearts in waiting

Ascending

Hearts in waiting

Beneath a crimson sea

Is a buried treasure

You will find the key

That unlocks forever

Does it seem so sudden

This sad, sweet goodbye?

This is what you have lived for

Now for this you must die

Hearts in waiting

Ascending

Hearts in waiting

Close your eyes

And rest secure

Your soul is safe

Your body sure

He that loves you

Is he that keeps

The one that guards you

Never slumbers, never sleeps

Take the greatest care

To hold onto your vision

Climb the golden stair

To the courts of heaven

It will seem so sudden

But you will laugh as you run

You will wash in the river

You will shine in the son

Hearts in waiting

Ascending

Hearts in waiting

Ascending

Hearts in waiting

Ascending

Hearts in waiting
