Onward Now
By Barry G. White
In the throes of another day
What is it that you cannot say
Have you really considered the trees?
They dance so gently through the breeze
Winds may blow with ferocious sound
Yet there they are planted in the ground
The storm grows stronger across the land
Roots run deep and still it stands
Caught you are in the grasp of fear
When the roads before you are quite clear
Foolish child you’re so scared to fail
Alone you sit to moan and wail
Strength your given many times over
Onward now, walk tall and sober
Open your mouth and hear the roar
Wings you’ll spread and begin to soar
Like the oak you’re mighty and strong
Lift your eyes and sing this new song
Jesus my strength, my hope and my rock
He is my shepherd and I am his flock
He leads me in Love, Truth and Might
Though darkness surrounds He is my Light
He is the victor and I am His prize
Onward I march to home in the sky
