I Press on Toward the Goal

I'm not there yet, still on my way
So much in me needs change today
I leave behind what's in the past
Eyes on the prize, I'm holding fast

I won't give up, I won't let go
Your hand will guide me as I grow
There's a prize waiting at the end
A life complete with You, my Friend

I press on toward the goal, I run to You
Leaving the past, I start anew
Your presence leads me through it all
My eternal prize, my final call

There's so much more I need to find
Every step I feel Your kind
And gentle voice calling me near
Your grace that teaches me to persevere

I won't give up, I won't let go
Your hand will guide me as I grow
There's a prize waiting at the end
A life complete with You, my Friend

I press on toward the goal, I run to You
Leaving the past, I start anew
Your presence leads me through it all
My eternal prize, my final call

Even if the road is long and rough
I'm not alone, Your strength's enough
Running by faith, eyes fixed above
My goal is Christ, my strength His love

I press on toward the goal, I run to You
Leaving the past, I start anew
Your presence leads me through it all
My eternal prize, my final call

I'll find You there, I know it's true
Running this race, I'm bound to You
Nothing will stop me, I'll hold on tight
Until I'm home, in Your arms of light

Even if the road is long and rough
I'm not alone, Your strength's enough
Running by faith, eyes fixed above
My goal is Christ, my strength His love
