PRESS ON
By George Thurlow

Press on brother
Another year is through;
Keep on marching forward
For there is much to do.
The harvest fields are ripened,
There are souls to save;
Good intentions are the base coat
On which the road to hell is paved.
Now’s not the time to weaken
When our victory’s in sight.
Press on a little harder;
Work both day and night.
Drowning souls are pleading
From out the sinful seas;
Who is there to rescue
If not you and me?
Press on! The King is coming!
Time is running out.
The Trumpet soon is sounding
Christ’s descending with a shout.
Press on all believers
Now’s not the time to slack.
Keep on marching forward
Never looking back.
Press on all that love Him;
He’s the Lamb who took our place.
Our reward is soon arriving
And we’ll see Christ face to face.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
