Closer to the Peak

[Verse 1 – Sung]
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


---

[Chorus – Sung]
'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


---

[Verse 2 – Rap]
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


---

[Bridge – Sung]
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


---

[Chorus – Sung]
'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


---

[Outro – Rap + Sung Blend]
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.
