I Will Ascend

I saw the kingdoms at my feet

I heard them call my name

I took the glory for my own

And claimed the crown of fame

I will ascend

Above the stars

I will exalt

My throne on high

I will ascend

I will ascend

I built my towers to the clouds

And reached beyond my place

The higher that I tried to climb

The farther from His grace

I will ascend

Above the stars

I will exalt

My throne on high

I will ascend

I will ascend

You built your throne on borrowed breath

The crown was never yours

I will ascend

Above the stars

Yet you were brought

Down to the dust

I will exalt

My throne on high

The Lord alone

Is high

The Lord alone is high

The proud fall low

The Lord remains
