Press On


 PRESS ON

By George Thurlow

©️1/1/2000


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.
