PRESS ON

 Press on toward the mark

Is what he says to me,

Take Heart, I will lift you up.

Just keep your eyes on Me.

I will never fail you,

On that you can depend.

I know you don’t understand

Just trust me to the end.

Give me time to heal your pain,

One minute at a time.

Just you wait and see, Child

The victory will be mine.

We’ll make this journey together,

I’ll mend your broken heart.

Stay close right by my side

Don’t wonder far apart.

Your children now are in my care

Protected under my wing.

What glorious light surrounds them

As the Heavenly choir sings!

Don’t lose hope, just come to me

Whenever you are sad.

Lift your eyes toward the Heaven’s realm

Where all is peaceful and glad!

This is where your children are

Where all is bright and fair.

You can make it on your own

Till the day you’ll join them there.

I have a purpose for you here

For just a while longer.

So keep pressing toward the mark,

Each day you’ll feel a little stronger.
