Closer to the Peak

I’ve been walking this road with shaking knees

Storm in my chest, but I still believe

Every step I take, the air gets thin

But I feel Your presence pulling me in

You never said the climb would be light

But You promised You’d be my fire, my fight

Through the pressure, through the ache

You're the breath I take when I start to break

---

'Cause the higher I go, the harder to breathe

But You're right here, breathing in me

When fear tries to shout, You silence the sound

You lift my soul from the battleground

Closer to the peak, pain starts to speak

But Your love is the anthem I seek

Oh Jesus, You carry me,

Even when it's hard to breathe

---

Climbing up fast, but my past try to chase me

Devil throwing lies, but Your truth still saves me

Pressure in my chest, feels like I can't go

But You broke chains—now I'm moving in flow

Mountaintop dreams, but the path ain’t smooth

Every scar’s a reminder that You still prove

That grace ain’t cheap, and pain ain't vain

But purpose is born in the middle of the strain

Eyes on the prize, no fear in my lane

I ain't alone—You bled for my gain

---

Even when I stumble, You don't let me fall

You whisper my name over it all

When the oxygen fades, and I’m gasping for air

Your Spirit fills the void, You’re already there

---

'Cause the higher I go, the harder to breathe

But You're right here, breathing in me

When fear tries to shout, You silence the sound

You lift my soul from the battleground

Closer to the peak, pain starts to speak

But Your love is the anthem I seek

Oh Jesus, You carry me,

Even when it's hard to breathe

---

So I climb with Your name in my lungs (Jesus!)

Heart on fire, kingdom come

No shame, no chains, I'm free

You’re the strength inside of me

Yeah, closer to the top, harder to breathe

But that’s where I see You clearly—

You and me.
