Honey Out of the Rock ‎#34

34. Keep Moving on the Way

1 There is only one thing that the Christian needs to do,
As he journeys with the saints to endless day;
If he’d keep his soul from falling while the way he does pursue,
Is to ever keep moving on the way.

Refrain:
Keep moving on the way,
Let us ever keep moving on the way,
Keep moving on the way;
Let us ever keep moving on the way.

2 Oh, this secret of progressing, ev’rybody ought to keep,
For this earthly life will never, never pay,
If we lay aside the cross and resign our eyes to sleep,
And forget to keep moving on the way. [Refrain]

3 In the galleries of the skies angel hosts are looking down,
And they watch us as we struggle day by day;
To the victor in the race God will give a starry crown,
If we ever keep moving on the way. [Refrain]
