Song of the Week 2019 – #4 – “Forward”

This song was written with a sense of determination to move FORWARD by faith into the next season of my life.

The older I get, the easier it is to want my life to be safe, comfortable, and predictable. But that’s not God’s plan! The God we worship is a God who loves the new and He’s all about bringing newness to our lives and the lives of those around us.

We will have to let go of the safe and familiar in order to step into the things that bring His life, joy, and power! God desires that all of us press in and press on by faith to the good plans and good works he has for each of us! It’s never too late! Let’s say no to fear, complacency, and comfort and move FORWARD by faith in Jesus Name!

Lastly, for someone listening who is investigating Christian faith, The God who made you is offering you a completely new life through His son, Jesus Christ! Surrendering your life to Him brings a completely new way of being, thinking, living, and loving! We at Tommy Walker Ministries urge you to turn over your life to Him!

Special thanks to Dave Siebels on organ and Isaias Elpes on bass. You guys brought this song to life in such a passionate and bold way!

Hebrews 12:1,2 (NIV) “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”

Acts 20:24 "However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace."

Titus 2:11-14 (NLT) “For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed. He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.”
