One More Mile

01. Press Toward the Mark

Press Toward the Mark-1992

Press toward the mark, what a high calling in Jesus
To Him we lift our eyes, His will is our prize
Press toward the mark, what a high calling in Jesus
With Him in full control, we'll run for the gold

Run with patience, run with peace
Never falter, never cease
Pray for power, pray for grace
Fear not Christian, run the race

Press toward the mark, what a high calling in Jesus
Laying by each weight of sin, God gives us power to win
Press toward the mark, what a high calling in Jesus
Knowing where our victory lies, faith reaches for the prize

Press toward the mark, what a high calling in Jesus
Knowing where our victory lies, faith reaches for the prize
Press toward the mark, toward the mark, toward the mark

The light of the world in my life
His Word is a lamp shining bright on my path
Saying , "Walk as a child of the light"

Aflame with an aim to please you

Preparing the way of the Lord"

If the light would be sent
By burning he shone even more

May my heart be on fire (May the world ever see)

Pain marked the way they with courage paved
Faith faced the foe, love made them go
They gave their all so we could know

Thanks be to God who causes us to triumph
Thanks be to God who causes us to win
Death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?

Press toward the mark and leave a trail behind
Turn not aside, follow our Guide
Giving our all and self deny

The flesh and spirit are at war
But as we yield the Spirit conquers all
And we gain a great reward

Fight the good fight, soldier, stand your ground

Only gold and silver, precious stones
Won't be lost but purified

Meet with me on a higher plain"

Claim the Name- 2002

There's a cloud of many witnesses

And more we've never known
They fought the battles, took their stand
We reap what they have sown

I am not ashamed to tell the world He's mine
Gladly I'll proclaim this Gospel to all people
I am not ashamed, I will claim His name

Now I take my stand in Jesus
And serve the Lord today
I give my strength and purpose
I sing and work and pray
And though all the world may mock me or walk uncaring by
I'll stay with Christ my Saviour
His name I'll not deny

Take up the trumpet, blow with all your might

Soon He's coming, there is no time to lose

To sound out the message, steady and strong

09. To Count The Cost

To Count the Cost- 1997

Is my life more dear to me
Than what He would have me be?
Would I gladly lay aside each dream I hold?
Could I count my gain as loss
And take up my given cross?
Am I willing to be spent for Christ my Lord?

Chorus

Count the cost of one soul lost
Without hope and without God
Death forever in a lake of flaming fire
What's the worth of this whole world
When compared to one lost soul?
There's a reason to count the cost

It may cost me suffering
In the service of my King
It may be a lonely path I have to trod
But to deeply know my Lord
Will be my great reward
I will gladly give my all
I've counted the cost

Tag

There's a reason (there's a reason)
To count (count) the (the) cost

10. Desire The Fire

Cumbered about, I'm serving You, Lord
I'm filled with the work and not with your Word
I come to You now, confessing my sin
Cleanse me from pride that lies deep within

Chorus

I long for Your power from Heaven
Your Spirit to fill all I do
I want all my days filled with Your praise
So that I bring glory to You
Please give me a heart that is broken
One You can mold and revive
Oh, how I'm yearning for Your holy burning
I truly desire the fire

Fields are white, there's so much to do
Your coming is near and laborers are few
But through Your power, I can do all
Without You I can do nothing at all

I truly desire (Lord, I desire)
Send me the fire

11. Just For The Journey

Just for the Journey- 2001

It's a journey for the just, every step we take by faith
And the God in whom we trust freely paves the way with grace
Even if there were no prize and it ended with the grave
Just for the journey we'd take it anyway

Chorus

Just for the journey, we lay each weight aside
And just for the journey, we bear the cross of Christ
There is a crown laid up for us, so we will suffer if we must
Just for the journey in this journey for the just

It's a journey for the just, so walk worthy of the Lord
Fleeing also youthful lusts, which would war against the soul
A good soldier of the cross will not entangled be
But just for the journey presses onward faithfully

12. Fight of Faith

The Fight of Faith-1998

As a roaring lion the devil's walking 'round
Looking for some soldier who's laid his armor down
Fighting's not an option, the battle's in array
You'd better get that sword and shield or you'll become the prey

Chorus

It's time to fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight the good fight of faith
In the power of His might put the enemy to flight
For the cause of truth and right
Stand up like a man and fight

I saw a Christian brother flirting hard with sin
Thinking he could look awhile but never quite give in
It never works, my brother, this fight is not a game
You either put that armor on or surely you'll be slain

Tag

Stand up like a man (Stand up like a man)
Stand up and fight

15. One More Mile

One More Mile-2006

Everybody's running a race
And everybody's nearing the finish line
But not everyone is getting a prize
Everybody's wanting to win
And some are even hoping to gain a crown
But not many will pay the price

Chorus

So Run...
Endure the pain, though you despise the shame
Focus on the goal...
Strive for the prize, though it is high
Give your heart and soul
So run, one more mile

Remember you are running a race
Remember you are nearing the finish line
Are you running to win a prize?
When there is a burden to bear
And when the Lord would need you for a little while
Are you ready for the second mile?

Tag

So run...
One more mile...
So run...
One more mile...
One more mile...
