Onward
Onward: A Journey of Faith and Freedom
Lyrics
Stop the presses we've got good news in store
Expressing the arrival of positive news
He's the joy for our mourning so let our praises roar
Emphasizing that God brings joy during times of sorrow, encouraging exuberant praise
Start the pressing and let's make it our own
Commencing with determination to make something unique or personal
Faith that keeps pressing onward to our heavenly home
Having faith that persists and moves forward towards the ultimate heavenly destination
So we'll keep on walking 'til we see Your face
Continuing the journey until encountering the presence of God
Help us love, Help us praise
Pleading for assistance in loving and praising
Help us live Your way
Asking for guidance in living according to God's ways
Yes we'll keep on walking every step is grace
Recognizing that every step taken is supported by grace
Help us run, To obey
Seeking help to run and obey in accordance with God's will
Help us live Your way
Requesting assistance in living according to God's ways again
Drop the way that turned our hearts into stone
Abandoning a way of life that hardened hearts
Cause our gilded chains don't turn our sins into gold
Understanding that material possessions don't change sins into valuable things
Leave the vices and now gain from abandon
Choosing to leave behind bad habits and gain from surrendering to God
What use is dead weight when it's freedom we stand in
Realizing the uselessness of carrying burdens when freedom is available
So we'll keep on walking 'til we see Your face
Continuing the journey until encountering the presence of God again
Help us love, Help us praise
Requesting help to love and praise once more
Help us live Your way
Asking for guidance in living according to God's ways again
Yes we'll keep on walking every step is grace
Acknowledging that each step taken is supported by grace reiterated
Help us run, To obey
Seeking help to run and obey in accordance with God's will reiterated
Help us live Your way
Requesting assistance in living according to God's ways again reiterated
Chased after flashes
Describing a shift from pursuing fleeting desires to seeking eternal values, finding beauty and grace in life
Pitiful passions
-Yeah now we're seeking the kingdom
-Beauty from ashes
-Grace from the lashes
-Oh what a life we've been given
-Chased after flashes
-Pitiful passions
-Yeah now we're seeking the kingdom
-Beauty from ashes
-Grace from the lashes
-Oh what a life we've been given
-So we'll keep on walking 'til we see Your face
Continuing the journey until encountering the presence of God reiterated
Help us love, Help us praise
Requesting help to love and praise once more reiterated
Help us live Your way
Asking for guidance in living according to God's ways again reiterated
We will keep on walking every step is grace
Acknowledging that each step taken is supported by grace reiterated
Help us run, To obey
Seeking help to run and obey in accordance with God's will reiterated
Help us live Your way
Requesting assistance in living according to God's ways again reiterated
(Soon will pass my pilgrim days
Expressing the passing nature of life's pilgrimage, transitioning from faith to sight and prayer to praise
Faith to sight and prayer to praise)
