Pushing on, on toward Your goal
Your goal for me
Christ ahead, Spirit lead, I’m close
I’m close to You
And Your love will shine on through
The day, the night, in spite of all I do
And my hope, my strength, my shield
Is found in You
You’ve brought me into Your heart
Born again, Jesus’ friend
I know, I know You’re here
Life to come with the One I love
I love You Lord
Greg Jong
