Trading The Cross For A Crown
Trading Trials for Triumph: Upholding Faith's Reward
Lyrics
I started out with a made-up mind
I began my journey with a firm decision
To one day cross the finish line
My goal is to reach the finish line eventually
I'm pressing toward the mark and for the prize
I'm striving towards a specific target and the ultimate reward
At times, I've had to stand my ground
Despite challenges, I've stood my ground at times
And Satan's tried to turn me around
Satan has attempted to divert me, but I resist his lies
But I will not be hindered by his lies
I won't be hindered by deceitful influences
I'm not gonna walk away
I won't give up easily
I've got too much at stake
There's too much at stake for me to walk away
And I've come too far to turn back now
I've come too far to consider turning back
Every battle that I have fought
Every struggle I've faced will be soon forgotten
Will soon be forgot
Trading the difficulties symbolized by the cross for a glorious reward represented by a crown
And I'm trading this old cross in for a crown
Anticipating encouragement from those who have already succeeded
I can almost hear them cheer me on
Imagining the presence of those who have completed their journey
And see the ones who have reached home
Believing that victory in this race is awaited by those in a heavenly home
Now they wait for us to win this race
Envisioning a grand celebration beyond our imagination
A banquet like we've never known
Expecting a glorious event at God's royal throne as a reward for our faith
Will be held at God's royal throne
We will receive recognition for our faithfulness
There we'll be rewarded for our faith
Commitment to persist despite challenges
I'm not gonna walk away
I won't give up easily
I've got too much at stake
There's too much at stake for me to walk away
And I've come too far to turn back now
I've come too far to consider turning back
Every battle that I have fought
Every struggle I've faced will be soon forgotten
Will soon be forgot
Trading the difficulties symbolized by the cross for a glorious reward represented by a crown
And I'm trading this old cross in for a crown
Anticipating encouragement from those who have already succeeded
And I'm trading this old cross in for a crown
Trading the difficulties symbolized by the cross for a glorious reward represented by a crown
I'm not gonna walk away
I won't give up easily
I've got too much at stake
There's too much at stake for me to walk away
And I've come too far to turn back now
I've come too far to consider turning back
Every battle that I have fought
Every struggle I've faced will be soon forgotten
Will soon be forgot
Trading the difficulties symbolized by the cross for a glorious reward represented by a crown
And I'm trading this old cross in for a crown
Anticipating encouragement from those who have already succeeded
And I'm trading this old cross in for a crown
Trading the difficulties symbolized by the cross for a glorious reward represented by a crown
