Song 13: Ever Higher

This song is about following Jesus in times of hardship. It draws from Exodus 13:20-22.

Verse 1

Upon the battlements

Before the gathered storm

I plant my flag

With Christ my savior

Verse 2

Upon the battlements

Before the gathered storm

Give me strength to stand

In my hand the Spirit’s sword

Pre-Chorus

In a cloud of smoke

And a pillar of fire

He leads me on

And ever higher

Chorus

Let me not back down

Be all my strength

Til the smoke and fire

Is just Jesus face

Verse 3

When I’m battleworn

And my sin comes so near

Give me strength stand

I have no need to fear

Bridge

He saved my soul

I owe him all

Look there and see

My all in all

Verse 4

Beyond the battlefield

Look to the rising sun

In the conquering king

Are all my battles won
