1.

Christ through the flesh has opened a way.
/: Press onward! :/
It’s made for you to follow today.
/: Press onward! :/

Chorus:

Put your old life behind you;
Walk on the way that’s new.
Veil of the flesh was torn in two!
This can take place in you.

2.

Sacrifice, yes—but glorious too!
/: Press onward! :/
Jesus will fight with power for you.
/: Press onward! :/

Chorus:

Fellowship in the Spirit
Have all who onward press.
Formed in the light, these bonds endure
Through every trial and test.

3.

Short is our time of suffering here.
/: Press onward! :/
Then we eternal glory will share.
/: Press onward! :/

Chorus:

Jesus this way has opened;
Access He made for us.
We can through Him have victory
Over all fleshly lust.

4.

All who obey will gather one day.
/: Press onward! :/
Those who’re perfected joyfully say,
/: “Press onward!” :/

Chorus:

Saints who’ve gone home to glory
Wait for us over there.
Home soon with Jesus, we’ll with Him
His crown and glory share.
