Verse 1
Through the cold, dark nights of sorrow
Through the days of toil and fear
Thought the steps you take grow weary
Keep on pressing on with cheer
The prize you seek is worth it
All the challenges you face
There’s a rest awaiting, pilgrim
When you’ve run and won the race
Chorus
Pilgrim, keep pressing on
To the prize you have in store
Pilgrim, though the miles are long
This is worth it all and more
The prize ahead is worth the cost
So take your load and bear your cross
To the city that’s prepared
Shining ones await your entrance there
Verse 2
Through the days when no-one listenes
And the nights when no-one cares
Keep witnessing and sowing
For the harvest God prepares
Keep fighting in His army
Till He says, “Lay down your sword,
“You have kept the faith, My soldier
“And great is your reward”
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Surrounded by the witnesses who’ve run this race before
Let us lay aside encumbrances and focus on the Lord
Repeat chorus
