The children of God marched through hot desert sand,
Opposed by their enemies on every hand,
But they kept on marching as God's holy band
Until finally they occupied their promised land.
Noah built an ark far from sea on dry sod.
He listened and he obeyed the word of God.
Noah's neighbors laughed as he built his large boat,
But when the rains poured down, Noah went afloat.
When Daniel was told he no longer could pray,
He remained obedient to God every day.
They threw him down deep into the lion's den,
But God shut the lion's mouth as he prayed again.
Jesus remainded faithful even to the cross,
He suffered and He gave His life to save the lost.
They crucified and buried the Son of Man,
But then three days later He arose again.
So press on when the night is long.
Press on! Keep on singing your song.
When you're feeling discouraged and your strength is gone,
Fix your eyes on Jesus and keep pressing on.
