They came to the harbor at Fair Havens.

Fair Havens! After a journey hard and long.

A prisoner on board named Paul

Warned of danger to them all!

But the captain thought the prisoner was wrong.

 

So they sailed from the harbor at Fair Havens.

Into a storm they could not forestall.

For two weeks they tried to cope,

But everybody on board lost hope…

That’s when GOD sent an angel down to Paul!

 

Saying, "Fear not! Don’t you be frightened!

GOD has given the lives of all on board to you!

GOD has a plan

Before Caesar you must stand!"

So Paul kept pressing on - all the way through!

 

Keep pressing, keep on pressing -

Though the wild waves roll!

Keep pressing, keep on pressing -

Striving for the goal!

 

Paul was a prisoner of Christ Jesus.

Long before he was a prisoner of Rome!

He kept pressing on amid

The storms of life – he did!

And GOD brought him all the way home!

 

Is your vessel meant to stay in the harbor?

Is your vessel prepared to sail to sea?

CHRIST’s great command,

Have you heard of its’ demand?

You know, the one that starts like this: "Go Ye!"

 

Children, fear not, don’t you be frightened!

There may be lives GOD will grant somewhere to you!

GOD has a plan

For every person in every land!

So be like Paul - keep pressing on! - All the way through!

 

Keep pressing, keep on pressing -

Though the wild waves roll!

Keep pressing, keep on pressing -

Striving for the goal!
