A Briefing For The Ascent

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
For hearts in waiting
Ascending
Hearts in waiting

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Hearts in waiting
Ascending
Hearts in waiting

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Hearts in waiting
Ascending
Hearts in waiting
Ascending
Hearts in waiting
Ascending
Hearts in waiting
