Press the Battle

Words by Ron Goodman and Frank P. Nickel
Music by Frank P. Nickel

Fierce the warfare and the conflict
as the mighty foe we face.
But through Christ we have the victory;
we will conquer by His grace.

See, the final day is nearing,
soon the crown of life we’ll wear.
Let us win the lost for Jesus
that they too His love may share.

Chorus:
Yes the time of rest is coming
when our warfare shall subside.
Press the battle to the finish
for the Christ who bled and died.

Not for riches, not for glory;
but the lost in sin’s dark night,
we will wage relentless battle—
for the souls of men we’ll fight.

There is joy and sweet communion.
We are comrades in God’s will.
Not a thing this world may offer
can compare or match the thrill.

Chorus:
Yes the time of rest is coming
when our warfare shall subside.
Press the battle to the finish
for the Christ who bled and died.

Unsung Heroes

 ‘Tis fitting that we honor those
who fought on land and seas,
but are we overlooking some
who fought upon their knees?

For those who fall on battlefields
far from their families,
our gratitude should be expressed
sincerely on our knees.

But never underestimate
the sacrifice of these
engaging in fierce warfare
and combat on their knees.

Not every person knows first hand
the mighty power that frees
the souls of men, and nations too,
is wrought upon our knees.

Yes, many have engaged in both
by muscle and through pleas,
and won a battle, almost lost,
by conquest on their knees.

The cause behind the triumph oft
no mortal fully sees.
‘Tis God who turns the tide when we
get humbly on our knees.
