Lucy's Song: Further Up and Further In
When the darkness seems never ending
And evil has taken the upper hand
Only The Lion can give us courage
Together we fight and defend His land
Further up and Further In, He'll call us
As He leads us to His home
Further Up and Further In, We'll follow
The dream has ended, morning has begun
We will climb mountains and we will tread waters
Going Eastward and ever on
Kings and Queens, and Lords and Ladies
Seek and search the glorious Sun
Further up and Further In, He'll call us
As He leads us to His home
Further Up and Further In, We'll follow
The dream has ended, morning has begun
When the Great Lion stands in the doorway
Between a world ending and a world unknown
There we'll be, standing right beside him
Led by Faith in him alone
Further up and Further In, He'll call us
As He leads us to His home
Further Up and Further In, We'll follow
The dream has ended, morning has begun
This is the fastest I have ever written anything! I was in church and we were singing this beautiful hymn and suddely right in the middle of singing I heard the words, Further Up and Further In we Follow, and I just could not get it out of my head.
So I sat at the computer and in less then 10 minutes I had written a complete poem or song in my case. I had the tune of the hymn "Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus" in my head while I was writing it so if you know that tune you can try and sing Lucy's Song to it. It may not work, but it worked for me. I hope you enjoy it!
It's called Lucy's Song because Lucy is the strongest believer in Aslan.
And for those who may not understand, the lyrics are all inspired by certain events in the books in the books.
The first part is inspired by the battles and victories from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
The second part is inspired by the travels in Voyage of The Dawn Treader and The Horse and His Boy.
And of course the last part is from The Last Battle.
The Further Up and Further In chorus was Aslan's message to his Faithful Followers when they were leaving Narnia forever and going into his country.
