Philippians 3 v.13-15
********
I say that I have not attained
Not attained
To perfection as yet
Yet I my heart and mind have set
I labour on, desire whet
With Christ, His mighty power (x2)
Enabling each hour
For Christ He has each one here called
Has here called
And us He apprehends
He does see all our needs, them tends
His gracious favour lends
And so I do press on (x2)
Before me He has gone
One thing I do, I do forget
Do forget
Those things which are behind
I reach forth, thus I seek and find
To things ahead, defined
I press toward the mark (x2)
To the Lord\'s voice I hark
Pressing towards Him, the high prie
The high prize
Of God, His high calling
To know Him here in everything
Worship and praise Him bring
So let us have this mind (x2)
Be to Him full aligned
Let us go on, and not stand still
Not stand still
Nor retreating backwards
But more of Him known, understood
Following Him, He good
\'Til by His grace we all (x2)
Gain the prize of His call
