Pressing Onward
written by dale bayless
Chorus:
Pressing onward, reaching upward
Pressing toward the high calling in Christ
I’m forgetting things behind me
As I walk in newness of life
Pressing onward, reaching upward
Striving for the Heavenly prize
As I die to myself and I yield to the giver of life
Verse 1
I’m laying up treasure for myself in the Kingdom of God
I’m willing and I’m obeying the things I know in His word
He’s leading me in the righteous path, for the sake of His name
He’s cleansing me till His will and my will are exactly the same
Verse 2
Soldier be not entangled in the daily affairs of this life
Set your heart on serving the master
Who called you to fight the good fight
Keep your eye single on Jesus
Renew your mind with His word
Let’s not neglect so great a salvation
Give heed to the things that we’ve heard
