Climb The Mountain

Climb the mountain of your hope.

Don't look back down the slope.

Walk with us, we are Ecclēsia.

Your existence will be easier.

Take the long and winding road.

On the way, drop all your emotional load.

You are sorry for the things you lack.

Now, you know there's no turning back.

The Son has Risen for all time.

Taste Him through bread and wine.

He strengthens your soul and heart.

Re-creating you as from the start.

You go on even higher, He's paid the price.

I'll stay here, on this Mountain called Paradise.

I'm not worthy I can't get near.

Where you are going in His Presence so Dear.

You should see the view from here.

All the past no longer lasts.

And all the things I did, I fear.

Has been taken off my head.

By Grace, salvation given instead.

Climb the mountain of your faith.

Don't look back, you're headed to a better place.

From above this mountain you will go.

Marvelous things you will know.

Your existence, a new way to Be.

Once you've arrived, you'll see!
