Lord Jesus, I leave the past behind
The pain, the tears,
the things that bind
I will not live in yesterday
Your grace has shown a brighter way
The things behind, I lay them down
I seek the prize,
the heavenly crown
With faith in You,
I'll run this race
My heart is fixed upon Your face
I press on,
I press on To the high calling of Your love
You are my hope,
You are my prize My greatest treasure in the skies
I press on, Lord,
day by day
You are the Truth,
the Life, the Way
Until I see You face to face I'll run this race by
faith and grace (hallelujah)
This world is not my final home
I'm not forgotten or alone
My citizenship is up above
I'm held forever in Your love
Not earthly things will rule my heart
For You, my Lord,
have set me apart Though worldly treasures fade away
Your kingdom stands forever and always
One day, Lord, You will come again And wipe away all tears
and pain
You will transform this earthly frame To be like You,
my risen King
By Your great power,
all things You raise And every tongue will sing Your praise My
mortal body will be made new My everlasting hope is found in
You
When I grow weary,
I will not fall Your faithful voice will be my call
When I face trials along the way Your strength will help me
through each day No turning back,
no living in fear My heavenly Savior is always near
The prize before me,
Christ my King Forever I'll worship,
forever I'll sing!
I press on, I press on Till I behold Your glorious throne
You are my hope,
You are my prize My eternal home beyond the skies I press
on, Lord, faithfully
Until the day You welcome me
My life is Yours,
my heart is true My greatest joy is being with You
(with
You)
Jesus, lead me until the end My Savior,
my Lord, my faithful Friend
The past is behind me,
the prize is in view
And every step, I'll follow You
In Jesus' name,
Amen
