Lucy's Song

Summary:

Further Up and Further In, He'll calls us

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

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 day 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 never ending 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 day 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 day has ended, morning has begun

Notes:

This is the fastest I have ever written anything! I was in church and we were singing this beautiful hymn and suddenly 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.

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.
