Die Climbing
by Tara Leigh Cobble

Album: Beneath This Skin

(Based on the poem "Make Us Thy Mountaineers" by Amy Carmichael)

Higher, God, take me higher, God,
To the rock that is higher than me,
Higher, God, take me higher, God,
And let me not retreat.

If I stand on this ledge for too long,
It might break from my weight, so I'll press on.

(Chorus:)
I wanna die climbing (die climbing).
I wanna die reaching for Your throne.
I wanna die climbing (die climbing).
I wanna die reaching, pressing on.

Pressing on, God, I'm pressing on
To grasp what You have for me.
Pressing on, God, I'm pressing on
Though this mountain is so steep.

I have seen the truth revealed:
There's no such thing as standing still.

Chorus

Can't lose my grip,
Refuse to slip.
Mountain high, valley low.
Higher's where I wanna go...

Chorus

Higher, God, take me higher, God,
To the rock that is higher than me.
