| I MUST CONTINUE |
| There is a mountain range that has been in my mind, An obstacle I knew I would face at some place in time. It's fraught with deep dangers, and small canyons of sin, But out of nowhere I hear something within, "But you must continue, someway, somehow, you've come too far to turn back now." My feet are unwilling, I know my flesh is weak, But it's the valley beyond that my spirit seeks. So, in order to get there this range I must face, Now is the time and this is the place. "But you must continue, someway, somehow, you've come too far to turn back now." Imperfections loom over me, and I stumble a bit, I remember the times that I would have quit. But in the middle of despair, when defeat seems quite near, In silence and gloom, there are voices I hear, "But you must continue, someway, somehow, you've come too far to turn back now." I pass canyons and cliffs that would have once been my fall, And these moments of trials aren't as hard after all! It amazes me, that I keep up the stride, In spite of the pain, and selfish hurt pride. "But you must continue, someway, somehow, you've come too far to turn back now." Although God's protection has been all I need I do have one sadness that's been consistent with me. I've been quite alone on my path all this time And I wonder why aren't others attempting this climb. "But you must continue, someway, somehow, you've come too far to turn back now." Their spirit must need the same sense of revival. So, why aren't there others awaiting my arrival? I puzzle on this, but continue the fight. I look up to see the end is in sight! "So I must continue someway somehow, I've come too far to turn back now." For a moment I savor and then turn to see, Along this trail I have traveled there are millions like me! Struggling along, only trusting in God, Not seeing the others, that beside them must trod. "But they must continue someway somehow, they've come to far to turn back now." Yes, there is a "cloud of witnesses" that stand by our side, But like Elisha's servant God must open our eyes. As I stand in their number I feel the strength that made me strong, And such peace fills my soul as I join in their song. "You must continue, someway, somehow, you've come too far to turn back now!" |
