I have walked this unhallowed ground
And now
I stand before you
In God’s own light
As God’s own child
I rise to be with thee
So take me up
Don’t turn me down
I know
The time is comin’
So hold on Lord
Don’t let me go
I know you’ll see me through
The closer still
I walk with you
The more
I hear the heaven’s hummin’
So take me up
The tide of time
Has turned me back to you
Before you go
There’s one more mountain to climb
Fire on the water
Fire on the water
One more river to run
Fire on the water
And I can’t get through
One more valley to cross
Fire on the water
Fire on the water
One more cross to bear
Fire on the water
And I can’t get there
So take me up
Don’t pass me over
I’m ready
To see the holy kingdom
Cause this old world
Has got me down
An’ I’m bound to movin’ on
So you can up and take me up take me up
Take me up take me up

That when I’m through oh lord don’t let me down

To walk with you oh lord don’t let me down
The sun will shine
The heaven’s flame oh lord don’t let me down
The stars will shout

And you all mighty God ahhhhh
