Climbing the Heights

And if tomorrow never came

And if tomorrow never came
Could I my burden bare
To tell you what's inside
How to cast away my pride
And let you know what's there
Could courage shroud despair

There are times so oft
When longing seems forever
And patience though a treasure
Too long to measure
Is tempted by its pleasure

Yea virtue must remain
If all thy sorrows
Yet before and evermore
Should come this day
None could fill the void
Save one

Tis he who says when all is done
For him and him alone
Who sits upon the throne
No earthly home can compare
Yet wipes away he every tear
And all thy fear
Tis gone away
When cares are cast
And all is past

A love for none as he
Can know
No earthly form
Could so adorn
No richness find
As the divine
For in all darkness
His light will shine

When night is turned
To day
And all thy sorrows
Gone away
Shall come shall come
The rising sun
Rising in his glory
Come
Shall rise he in his glory
Shine
The man, the God
Divine

-Joshua Lee Foist
