Love this song. In January this year, I went to Panama on a missions trip with some of my senior class. One of the days we were there, we woke up before dawn to hike up a huge mountain. The sunrise was utterly beautiful, and when we got to the top, there was a large wooden cross waiting for us which we didn't know about before the hike. That trip was the best week of my life, hands down, and this song always reminds me of that amazing hike and the beautiful view from the top of that mountain.
This is the start of something amazing
A moment when heaven touches earth
Here in our hearts, Lord we are waiting
For something that's far beyond what we have seen or heard
Let us start the ascension
Let's begin the climb
Up this holy mountain
Where Your glory shines
Further up, further in
Just to be with You again
Let us start the ascension
We're fixing our eyes on glory and fire
Your name is branded on our hearts
You are the source of all we desire
Nothing can hold us back, we're running to where You are
Let us start the ascension
Let's begin the climb
Up this holy mountain
Where Your glory shines
Further up, further in
Just to be with You again
Let us start the ascension
We run to Your light
Let us start the ascension
Let's begin the climb
Up this holy mountain
Where Your glory shines
Further up, further in
Just to be with You again
Let us start
Let us start the ascension
Let's begin the climb
Up this holy mountain
Where Your glory shines
Further up, further in
Just to be with You again
Let us start the ascension
We run to Your light
