Chasing Dreams Through Grit and Grace: A Powerful Blues Rock Song

Pressing On in Him - Gritty Soulful Blues Rock

CrossFellowship.org

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
- Philippians 3:12 (NKJV)

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
- 1 Timothy 6:12 (NKJV)

[Verse]
Ain't reached the summit yet, No!
Climbs get steeper as I go
Ain't no crown on my head still
Gonna press till I get my fill

[Verse]
Ain't no saint walking on air
Got dirt on my hands, despair
Holding on to what He said
Pull me up from what I dread

[Chorus]
Pressing on through the storm, the rain
Chasing dreams through the grit and pain
Got no halo, just scars and grief
He's got me holding strong in belief

[Verse]
Every stumble, every fall
Climbing higher through it all
Ain't no perfection in sight
But in His grip, I fight

[Bridge]
Eyes fixed on the end unseen
For the hope that burns between
Ain't laid back ain't slowing down
Gonna claim that higher ground

[Chorus]
Pressing on through the storm, the rain
Chasing dreams through the grit and pain
Got no halo, just scars and grief
He's got me holding strong in belief
