Lyrics to I Press On by Jen Simpson

I'm not running

I am floundering

I've lost my focus

I've lost my fight

I have struggled

Against the enemy

My mind's deceitful

Darkness defeating light

Chorus:

So I press on to reach the end

To run the race, receive the crown

Pursue you

Casting every lie down

This is only distraction

This won't last forever

I choose to confess every sin

And not focus on myself

God will complete the work

He started in me

I trust Him to place

Hindrances aside to help

Chorus:

So I press on to reach the end

To run the race, receive the crown

Pursue you

Casting every lie down

You wil confirm

You will establish

You will strengthen

You will restore

So I press on to reach the end

To run the race, receive the crown

Pursue you

Casting every lie down

Teach Me to Stop and Look Around

When I'm conflicted

And I can't decide

What the next step is

Lord, will you be my guide?

When there's too many choices

That I could choose

When my mind's distracted

Lord and confused

Chorus:

Teach me to stop and look around

To ask for the old, godly ways and the holy ground

To walk the pathway the patriarchs led

To find the Holy Spirit guiding me, in my head

The way is narrow

The path you lead me on

Help me to listen

Trust and obey when I am wrong

To create space

Where I can hear your voice

To focus on you

Over the world is my choice

Teach me to stop and look around

To ask for the old, godly ways and the holy ground

To walk the pathway the patriarchs led

To find the Holy Spirit guiding me, in my head

Bridge:

I don't want to walk in darkness

And the lose the light that lights my path

I don't want to rush decisions

To be in your will is the only path x2

The only path, the only path

Teach me to stop and look around

To ask for the old, godly ways and the holy ground

To walk the pathway the patriarchs led

To find the Holy Spirit guiding me, in my head

He is still faithful

He is still God

Steadfast and loyal

Keeping each promise that He's made

Keeping each promise that He's made

He will not allow my foot to fail

He will rescue me from evil and hold my hand

Blessed are we to choose the narrow path

May all we think, all we do belong to You

Turn away!

Do not enter!

Avoid and pass on

Make our stand

in the armour of God

wearing our colours proudly

Lyrics to Fleshly Desires by Jen

Sin and temptation

Get the best of me

I can't look to Jesus

When me is all I see

Tempted by my flesh

Tempted by desires

Looking to others and longing

to build other gods' fires

This temple of the Holy Spirit

Was bought with a price by God

I want the life giving spirit

Not the flesh that corrupts

Tempted by my flesh

Tempted by desires

Looking to others and longing

to build other gods' fires

This war I'm in is against my soul

I'm putting to death unhealthy desires

Training my self to be self controlled

with God's spirit leading me

Not looking to the left

Not looking to the right

Looking only to Jesus

I want to be on fire for God

I want to be on fire for God

Abstain

Put to death

Let there be no sin

Renounce the sin not Him

Commands for living not dying

Tempted by my flesh

Tempted by desires

Looking to others and longing

to build other gods' fires

Tempted by my flesh

Tempted by desires

Looking to others and longing

to build other gods' fires

To the right

I look to the left

I'll just keep looking at Jesus Christ

And the price that he paid for me on the cross

My Jesus

My Jesus

Deliver us from death

And unhealthy desires

And help us continue to walk and to build up our Holy Spirit fire

because it means I'm treated like you were

And I know one day, I will see such joy

The result of suffering in glory

We are heirs, co-heirs with Christ

And what He faced, we must face too

Consider it joy when troubles come

For endurance is being grown in you

I will take up my cross

And follow you through life

I will walk

I will look to eternity

When I'm tempted to give up

I will look to you

We are heirs, co-heirs with Christ

And what He faced, we must face too

Consider it joy when troubles come

For endurance is being grown in you

For those ransomed by the Lord

For those ransomed by the Lord

For those ransomed by the Lord

Will return with joy

We are heirs, co-heirs with Christ

And what He faced, we must face too

Consider it joy when troubles come

For endurance is being grown in you

The Love of God

May you, may you

continually experience the love of Christ

though it is too great to know

and we can't hold it all

May you, may you

Be filled up continually with love

To be made complete

in Christ our Lord

The love of God is sacrificial

The love of God is unconditional

The love of God is wider, deeper

The love of God is never ending

May He, May He,

Use his love to fill the gaps

To be transformed

To be more like Christ

The love of God is sacrificial

The love of God is unconditional

The love of God is wider, deeper

He loved us first

His love doesn't start or end

It won't run out

We can do nothing to earn it or deserve it

It's abundant being poured out on us

May God, May God

strengthen you with His love

In the fullness of live and power

To pour out His love

The love of God is sacrificial

The love of God is unconditional

The love of God is wider, deeper
