Treadmill of Faith

Put one foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other
Press on toward the mark

There is an upward calling
And there is a fear of falling
There is no point in stalling
Press on toward the mark.

The path is narrow The path is steep
The mountains are high and the valleys are deep
We rejoice with the rejoicing and weep with those who weep
As we press on step by step toward the mark.

Worthy is the way to walk
By one who’ll do more than just talk
The world is spinning as we balk
So press on toward the mark.

Step by step and case by case
Steady you must keep your pace
Till you come to that final place
Press on toward the mark

Don’t grow weary in well doing as onward you press
Each step a trial and a trust as we face every test
The sacrifice of sojourn leaves the traveller blessed
As we press on step by step toward the mark.
As we press on step by step toward the mark.
As we press on step by step toward the mark.
