Saturday Songs - 8 - "Onward and Upward"


(Friends, each Saturday this year, we are sending the lyrics and a recorded version of one of our songs.  This week's edition, entitled "Onward and Upward," is an alma mater we wrote for a local Christian school from which our daughter graduated.  Interestingly, I wrote it when attending a football game of the university she attended after her high school graduation.  While listening to the the college's alma mater at the end of the game, I had the idea I'd like to write such a piece of music.  The thought occurred to me that her high school did not have an alma mater, so I wrote the song and offered it to them, which they accepted.  I hope you'll find it encouraging.  Thanks, Glen).




Onward and Upward
Capstone Christian School Alma Mater
Words and Music by Glen Davis

Onward and upward we arise,
Borne on eagles’ wings.
Seeking the wisdom God provides
For great and noble things.

We will remember fondly
These days of truth and light,
And all who helped to guide our way
Unto our future bright.
  
Tomorrow beckons, come and see
The life our Lord will give.
His promises we will believe,
And for His glory live.

We will remember fondly
These days of truth and light,
And all who helped to guide our way
Unto our future bright.
