I'm pressing on the God-man way,
New Christ I'm gaining every day,
Still groaning through this world of strife
I want to live a God-man life!
New Christ I'm gaining every day,
Still groaning through this world of strife
I want to live a God-man life!
Lord grow in me! You are the seed,
Of God-man life; You're all I need.
In all my heart, I give You ground.
Lord, may Your life in me abound!
Of God-man life; You're all I need.
In all my heart, I give You ground.
Lord, may Your life in me abound!

My heart has no desire to stay,
On hardened ground, in the world's way.
Satan no more shall steal Your Word,
I'll move my heart where You are heard!
On hardened ground, in the world's way.
Satan no more shall steal Your Word,
I'll move my heart where You are heard!

I want to deal with rocks in me,
From hidden sins, I would be free.
My heart I would clear up through prayer,
I'll gain more depth to root You there!
From hidden sins, I would be free.

I'll gain more depth to root You there!

The choking thorns, us barren make,
The life seed soon they'll overtake.
Riches, anxiety reject,
Just for God's growth the ground protect!
The life seed soon they'll overtake.
Riches, anxiety reject,
Just for God's growth the ground protect!

The sun must shine for us to grow,
So persecution we will know.
When it seems more than we can bear,
Lord, help us drink You deeply there!
So persecution we will know.
When it seems more than we can bear,
Lord, help us drink You deeply there!

We want to grow to utmost height,
Until Your Body comes in sight.
Yourself in man will then be shown;
Your plan at last by all be known!
Until Your Body comes in sight.
Yourself in man will then be shown;
Your plan at last by all be known!
