Album: ONWARD AND UPWARD | Song lyrics to: GREATER VICTORIES
"GREATER VICTORIES"
Verse One:
Will you slide down the mountain,
Will you fall down the side?
Will you flow like a fountain,
Giving water of life?
Will you turn to the darkness,
Or will you reach for the light
Of greater victories?
Verse Two:
Yes, we thought that the last one
Was enough in its time,
But we're growing and learning
That we've still got to climb
In spite of our problems,
In spite of our fears,
Greater victories, greater love.
Chorus:
There's a whole new life ahead of you,
You've just got to hold on tight.
Even if you're on the ledge be sure
There's a greater victory in sight.
Verse Three:
Yes, it's better to wear out
Than to rust in the rain,
It's better for riches
To be given again;
What God has to give you
Must be used just for Him
In greater victories, greater love!
[Repeat Chorus]
Verse Four:
You've got to keep on going,
You've got to sacrifice,
You've got to keep on giving
The rest of your life.
You know that when you do,
It's waiting there for you
The greatest victory!
Greater victories, greater love!
Greater victories, greater love!
Greater victories, greater love!
Greater victories, greater love!
