we press on

Tonight in church, two of our teens sang a song that deeply touched my heart. I’ve been familiar with this particular song for probably more than a decade, but tonight it meant something special, so I thought I would post the lyrics. It’s called “We Press On”:

When the valley is deep, when the mountain is steep
When the body is weary, when we stumble and fall
When the choices are hard, when we’re battered and scarred
When we’ve spent our resources, when we’ve given our all
Chorus:
In Jesus’ name, we press on, in Jesus’ name, we press on
Dear Lord, with the prize clear before our eyes
We find the strength to press on
