Victory Climb
Up in a branch, I gasp and admire–
My beautiful Lord, He rages like fire.
From a distance, I feel his blessings upon my skin.
He emits billowy smoke that I want to breathe in.
Incense with a woodland scent, his mercies are forever new.
I fall on my face daily and praise the sovereignty of you!
You are King, God; Your power is like an electric shock.
It drives me to compassion and plants my feet upon bedrock.
Never faltering, You fix my stance on the promises of your Word.
I will never wander – never stray away from the herd.
For you are the good shepherd; Your rod of discipline gives me skill.
I can brace my body for the climb – and ascend like a warhorse uphill.
Buckled in your providence, I cry out for blessings tenfold.
You prepared my muscles. I’m ready for this road.

1 Samuel 14:9-11
If they say to us, ‘Wait there until we come to you,’ we will stay where we are and not go up to them. But if they say, ‘Come up to us,’we will climb up, because that will be our sign that the LORD has given them into our hands.” So both of them showed themselves to the Philistine outpost.“Look!” said the Philistines. “The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes they were hiding in.”
