Pressing Forward

This year's theme for our congregation's women's group (aka the Relief Society) is "press forward." It's a phrase that is found in both scripture and a favorite hymn of mine.  Even better, the teens in our ward also happen to have this as their theme as well. This song and scripture have been on my mind a great deal as of late.  Friends, when the going gets tough, the tough press forward with a steadfast faith in Christ.


 What an example of pressing forward!...Or just bad parenting!


I love the nod to the "Back to the Future" movie poster.

Lyrics

  1. 1. Press forward, Saints, with steadfast faith in Christ,
    With hope's bright flame alight in heart and mind,
    With love of God and love of all mankind.
  2. (Chorus)
    Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
  3. 2. Press forward, feasting on the word of Christ.
    Receive his name, rejoicing in his might.
    Come unto God; find everlasting light.
  4. 3. Press on, enduring in the ways of Christ.
    His love proclaim thru days of mortal strife.
    Thus saith our God: "Ye have eternal life!"
