Since first I heard my Saviour’s call
He’s healed my every hurt
Through faith, I’m in God’s temple wall
A child, once common dirt
It took some time to climb this height
Through sweat, through bitter tears
I won’t come down, not even slight
Not in a million years
I won’t come down Salvation’s wall
This temple built in Christ
I won’t come down, nor will I fall
The cost’s too highly priced
In Christ I stand, and here I’ll stay
Each trial in Him I’ll face
I won’t come down, not anyway
At last I know my place
I won’t come down, but climb until
In Christ, I’ve reached my best
And when I’ve done my Father’s will
I know that I’ll be blessed
There’s far too much my God has done
Too much He’s had to pay
The love He shares though Christ His Son
I won’t come down, no way!
It’s by God’s grace I’m standing high
While Satan wages war
Alert; I’m here with open eye
I’ll play the fool no more
On eagles wing instead I’ll rise
The devil’s fought and lost
I’ll fly in God’s eternal skies
With Christ, who’s paid the cost
