Press On
Paul wrote this letter to the Philippian church clan
to tell them all about what the Lord God had planned
Paul was a good preacher who spoke in seven tongues
and he could spread the word of God almost as good as God's son
He wrote to the Philippians, he told them to let go of the past
press on forward and let the Holy Spirit guide your paths
the past can inhibit you, of the future you must not ignore
just look back, but don't live back press on towards new open doors
If you consider yourself to be a Christian true
consider Jesus' resurrection your resurrection too
the past might not have been that bad,
it probably had a few good appointing
just don't let it interfere
and make you miss your anointing
Shortcomings and mistakes have come and gone by
just press on forward towards God's eternal prize
plant your feet on God's firm and higher ground
don't let anything from the past drag you back on down
Press on, press on and know the path might not be straight
the mountain may seem high, just in God keep the faith
Press on, press on for in order to claim victory
you can't allow the past to make you repeat history
