Press toward the mark
of your high calling in Christ Jesus
The counterfeit kingdom is now set in motion,
For each precept of God, there’s a false one in place.
There’s no hope in fearing and knowing the darkness.
Our hope is in seeking our dear Savior’s face.
CHORUS:
Press toward the mark of your high calling in Christ Jesus
Forgetting all those things which are behind.
Press toward the mark of your high calling in Christ Jesus
And be transformed by renewing of your mind.
If you ask for a fish, He won’t give you a serpent.
And if you ask for bread, He won’t give you a stone.
Our Father gives only good gifts to His children.
He gives us His Spirit and His Spirit alone.
CHORUS
Don’t look to your natural mind to protect you.
Don’t look to knowledge, which you once received.
Walk in the Spirit of God, the Anointing,
Then having the Truth, you will not be deceived.
CHORUS
Our sword is the Word as revealed by the Spirit,
Salvation, our helmet; God’s faith is our shield.
Righteousness, and the gospel and truth is our armor.
The gifts of the Spirit, the weapons we wield.
CHORUS
Our weapons of warfare, they’re strong and they’re mighty,
To tear down the strongholds of Satan’s abode.
We must enter into the Holy of Holies,
And fight to establish the Kingdom of God.
CHORUS
