You are a contender in a race that's to be won
And living life the course to follow, once you start to run.
Pace yourself with bravery and always understand,
You're facing many hardships. Life is never what you planned.
Chorus
Press on and don't look back.
Press on. Stay on the track.
Press on for God will keep your soul.
Press on. He's on your side.
Press on. He'll be your guide.
Press on. He'll take you to the goal.
Sorrow and frustration will attempt to rule each day.
and happiness may flee when opposition bars the way.
Challenges build character in lessons that you learn.
Each truth becomes a treasure; costly gems for which you yearn.
Chorus
Life's not overwhelming, though you struggle in the night
For joy will overtake you in the dawning of new sight.
Meet your troubles with resolve, for though the way seems long
The difficulties that you face will make your spirit strong.
Chorus
Stay the course. Don't falter, now, for every mile you've trod
Will lead you to the knowledge of the faithfulness of God.
Don't look back. Press on, until your faith has been applied,
and run the race with courage! Know that God is on your side.
Repeat chorus three times
Press on!
Press on!
Press on!
