Pressing On

Yes, I’ve been struggling
But I never gave up
Just kept asking my Father
Teach me to drink from this cup

Many days, I’ve fallen
Many nights have passed me by 
When it is that I‘m calling
He wipes the tears of my cry

Father, forgive me
I’ve done it all over again
So many times as the one before
Have I committed this sin

So Lord, help me
Teach me to go and sin no more
Cause I feel I’m not going to make it 
From this side, to the other shore

In Jesus’ name

Amen

Then there was silence and he said,

A just man falls seven times (but he gets back up)
Never does he stay down (he gets back up)
Keep trying to be true through the pain
Keep pressing on, pressing all the way.
