Press On

[Verse 1]
Lord put a song in my heart to
Be the rhythm that I march to toward You
Keep me warm like a Sherlin with grace
As I walk with the wind of the world in my face this
Place is not home and I can sense it
As I roam the earth I've learned how to pitch my tent quick
And break it down taking it down a notch
May I be found to be faithful safely counted in Your flock
Earth is not a safe place to wander
Many of the faith based lay waylaid and conquered
Mainly cause they traded Your honor
For created things being fond of these things kind of
Trying to have two gods ruling
But You're not fooled and You're not cool
With pseudo-gods dueling, and trying to bump You for Your space
They get in front of You and have us front on You to Your face
I pray for all the soldiers who've fallen
From so strong in their walk to no longer even crawling
And I'm not looking down from so high
'Cause I know that there but by the grace of God would go I
And probably have I'd probably crash
If it wasn't for Your grace covering all my mistakes and other flaws
Lord teach me to learn to love Your law
Like the writer of the Psalm 119 and other songs

[Chorus]
We must press on, press on
Yes, we must press on
Press on

[Verse 2]
Would you spare our city for 50 righteous men
Maybe 40, wait 30, 20, 10
Could you find ten men in our nation
Who resist the enticements of Satan or the fighting temptations
With spiritual fruit like in Galatians
Who respond to hearing the truth whether they like what they're tastin'
Or not the race is not given to the swift
One must endure to be sure that God is giving them a gift
If not His floor is a constant continental drift
His conscience is his only compass, competent only in shifts
The twist is that I'm confident of this
God warns us and admonishes and yet His promise is legit
And this is not as astonishing as it gets
We're autonomous yet His honor is sovereign in His intent
What I meant is that His providence is sensed
Even if we're abominous and pay homage with just our lips

[Chorus]
We must press on, press on
Yes, we must press on
Press on

[Verse 3]
Over and over the Scriptures warn us
That we must run the race that was set before us
But God informs us
Who can be against us if He's for us
The text ensures us that God's grace supports us
To stop taking shortcuts
Who can thwart the plan of the Lord
Not death or life can separate those that His hands secure
If it sounds like I'm talking out both sides of my neck
I'm not, I'm talking out both sides of the text
So watch and listen to the words you hear
We must muster the strength just to persevere
And even though we compete
What God begins He completes
Faith is the arena, eternal life is the reward
A great cloud of witnesses stands to applaud
All those who win the wreath
And celebrate God's grace for those who continue in belief
So yes we can rest
'Cause we're blessed as long as we

[Chorus]
We must press on, press on
Yes, we must press on
Press on

Press!
