Written as a singer-songwriter piece, it reflects the personal wrestle and the victory found in Christ, echoing Paul’s words about pressing toward the upward call of God."🌹

🎵Lyrics💽(Copyright Version)

[Verse 1]
I lingered in the ruins
of what I couldn’t save.
Tracing all the fractures,
memorizing every name.
Grief became my garment,
silence was my hymn. 🍂
Mercy seemed so distant,
like it passed me by again.

[Verse 2]
One day I stood in stillness,
weary of the storm. 🍂
The hollow cheers fell silent,
the mirror lost its scorn.
I saw a thread of sunlight
break across the pain. 🌼
I whispered through the silence,
and heard Him call my name.

[Verse 3]
Laid down the questions,
the what-ifs and the why.
Gathered up the ashes, 🍂
kissed the past goodbye.
Lifted up my eyes,
let the sorrow fall. 🍂
Pressing towards the promise,
the highest prize of all.

[Chorus]
I’m not looking back,
no, not this time. 🍃
Eyes on the prize,
heart set to climb.
I taste the grace,
I’ve heard the call.
I'll run the race, 🍂
surrendering all.

[Bridge]
Lift me higher,
lift me up again.
I’m pressing forward
in Jesus’ name.
No fear — no shame,
Your mercy reigns.
I will rise,
and rise again. 🌱

(repeat Bridge)
Lift me higher,
lift me up again.
I’m pressing forward
in Jesus’ name. 🍂
No fear — no shame,
Your mercy reigns.
I will rise,
and rise again. 🌿

[Outro / Tag]
Pressing toward the upward call,
the highest prize of all! 🍂
