Ascend

Verse 1
It seems to me my life’s a marathon
Sometimes I walk, sometimes I run
It’s not the pace or place I finish in
But whether I finish at all
The win is in enduring to the end
This crown of life I’m dying to secure and to defend
Chorus
We might not fight the giants well
But we will battle as all good soldiers do
We might not climb the mountains well
But we will scale them and stand where only few ascend
Verse 2
What if we could see the finish line
Perhaps we’d run and never fall
But there are hills and valleys yet ahead
And it takes faith to face them all
The win is in enduring to the end
This crown of life I’m dying to secure and to defend
Bridge
It’s time to leave the trenches, hear the battle cry to charge
We cannot reach the finish if we never even start
