I've seen the road and it's snares.
I bore the load though it wears.
I've heard your curses and slights and still it won't stop me.
I've heard your curses and slights and yet it won't stop me.
From ever calling You "king."
Or hide the Gospel we bring.
It's burning bright in my eyes.
Come grow, come grow and light up the skies.
We're hungry, tired and sick.
Faced with resistance on every end (in You we hide).
I've felt the scorn you inflict.
Attack this mission I will defend.
Still onward we will ride.
Onward we will ride.
Forward with no end in sight.
In You we shall hide.
Our hope is found in the light.
Tonight I rest, I rest in peace.
Your will is greater than mine.
And I haven't a thirst for wealth or man's empty praise.
For the glory is Thine.
And I haven't a want of fame in this world to claim at all.
When the vile take aim on my flesh I'll call Your name.
We will ride.
We will face the world.
We're dirty, restless, and sore.
But count it joy to be found worthy (against this test).
Endless assaults to endure.
Upon our bodies with no worry.
For one day I'll have rest.
I've seen the road and it won't stop me.
Tonight I rest, I rest in peace.
Your will is greater than mine.
And I haven't a thirst for wealth or man's empty praise.
For the glory is Thine.
And I haven't a want of fame in this world to claim.
When the vile take aim on my flesh I'll call Your name.
With Your strength bestowed upon me freely.
And Your grace has flowed in us completely.
Now let us cut through the night so that in me they would see light.
I've seen the road and it won't stop me.
No end in sight as far as I see.
And I'll bear the weight of the victim.
Onward we ride till kingdom come.
