PRESSED OUT OF MEASURE
1. Pressed out of
measure, press'd beyond all length;
Pressed so
intensely, seeming beyond strength;
Pressed in the
body, pressed within the soul,
Pressed in the mind
till darksome surges roll.
Refrain
God is my hope and
God is my joy;
He is the
resurrection life I enjoy.
2. Pressure by
foes, and pressure from our friends;
Pressure on
pressure, till life nearly ends;
Pressed into
knowing none to help but God,
Pressed into loving
both the staff and rod.
3. Pressed into
liberty where nothing clings,
Pressed into faith
for hard and hopeless things;
Pressed into life,
a life in Christ the Lord,
Pressed into life,
the life of Christ outpoured.
