A Briefing for the Ascent
Words by Terry Taylor, Music by Terry Taylor and Greg Flesch
©1987 Broken Songs
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...
