Mike Bowling - Trading a Cross for a Crown

I started out with a made-up mind
To one day cross the finish line
I'm pressing toward the mark and for the prize
At times I've had to stand my ground
And Satan's tried to turn me around
But I will not be hindered by his lies

I'm not gonna walk away
I've got too much at stake
I've come too far to turn back now
Every battle that I have fought
Will soon be forgot
I'm trading this ole cross in for a crown

I can hear the angels cheer me on
And see the ones that have reached home
They now await for us to win this race
A banquet like we've never known
Will be held at God's royal throne
There we'll be rewarded for our faith

I'm not gonna walk away
I've got too much at stake
I've come too far to turn back now
Every battle that I have fought
Will soon be forgot
I'm trading this ole cross in for a crown
No, I'm not gonna walk away
I've got too much at stake
I've come too far to turn back now
Every battle that I have fought
Will soon be forgot
I'm trading this ole cross in for a crown
Yes, I'm trading this ole cross in for a crown
