Press On!

To present Press On! was easily a unanimous decision - to challenge and encourage our BFC family to endure, especially when we have come to almost the middle of the year, when things in life seems to run on and seem mundane. It was a real blessing to be able to sing such a rousing song and to press on till the end of this musically challenging item.

Press On!

There’s a course that must be finished
There’s a race that must be run,
There’s a mission to accomplish,
And a battle to be won!
We’ve been called to take the challenge
By God’s might and through His Son;
He will give us grace To complete the race,
Moving forward, pressing on

Toward the hope of our high calling,
Toward the promise we’ve received,
With the strength that we’ve been given, pressing on to victory!
And toward the One who’s run before us, as we lay our weight aside.
‘Til the race is run, ‘til the prize is won,
‘Til we reach the finish line, press on!

There’s a faithful cloud of witnesses who inspire us in our task.
They have fought the fight, They have run the race,
They have won the crown at last!
And the lives they’ve lived remind us –
That though the race at times seems long,
God will give the grace To complete the race,
And the courage to press on.

• Press On Jeremy in your 4.5 km competition on Wed,
• Press On dear friends of youth com as we seek to serve God in our work,
• Press On leaders of the church as you seek to lead the church in all truth, wisdom, integrity and unity
• Press On dear youths as you determine to be a bright light and a salty salt in the midst of your friends

Hebrews 12:1-4 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.
