Chorus:
Movin', gotta keep movin'
Groovin', stay in the groove (yes)
Movin', gotta keep movin'
Pressing on, striving toward the goal, (yes)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Well every one of us is in a race
And we're running for the prize
It takes time and energy to train
A spiritual exercise
Throw off every weight that slows you down
Take that path that Christ has led
Forget everything that is behind
And just strain toward what's ahead
And just keep on
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Well everyday we have to make a choice
Say true to what is right
Overcome everything that's in our way
And fix our eyes on Christ
Just keep pressing on up toward the goal
Where a crown of life you'll find
Well no doubt Christ will be waiting there
When we cross the finish line
And we just keep
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Bridge:
Jesus died on the cross
Willing to die for even me
Now he reigns up on high
Don't give up or become weary
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Yes, pressin on, pressin'
I've just gotta keep
Repeat Chorus (x3)
