Porters House Praise and Worship leader and renowned gospel singer Maranda Curtis declared aloud “Press” in her new inspirational single release.
The beautiful, soft ballad song emphasis the word spoke by Paul the Apostle in Philipians 4:13 – “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”. In this new song, Maranda just like many of us who are tired of the happenings in our world today. Pandemic, conflicts, racism, and family issues, to press harder towards the mark.
The visual of the song clearly paints a picture of the conflict and chaos that arose as a result of years of Racism resulting in the recent death of George Flyod and many others.
LYRICS OF PRESS BY MARANDA CURTIS
Troubled on every side, sometimes I don’t wanna try
Try to move on when it seems there’s nothing left
Left
Lord I need You to step in, give me a second wind
Lord with Your help, I know that I will win
I will press, even when I am distressed
I will press, even when life’s a mess Oh
But when it hurts, I know You’re moving on my behalf
I will press
I will press
Oh, forgetting those things behind, embracing what’s ahead
Reaching out towards all that You have for me
For me
In You there is a prize, that I cannot be denied
Moving ahead, it is my destiny Oh
I will press, even when I am distressed Oh
I will press, even when life’s a mess, a mess
But when it hurts, I know You’re moving on my behalf
I will press
I will press
Oh
Lord knows I’m pressing, I cannot give up
I’m called to a place of victory
I have a blessed assurance and a promise to live for
