[Eb] We're reading Ambassadors from the third chapter, [Db] Philippians, [Eb] beginning at the 13th verse.
And this is a message to [Ebm] the church and he says,
[Eb] Brethren, I count not myself to have [Ebm] apprehended,
[Ab] but this one thing I do, I'm forgetting those things [Bb] which are behind [Eb] me,
and [Db] I'm reaching [Eb] forth to those things which are before me.
Now look at the 14th verse.
I press, I press toward the mount,
for [Ebm] the price I'm calling [Eb] of God [Ab] in Christ Jesus,
for somebody today in the hospital,
[Ebm] for somebody [Eb] in an insane asylum,
in a jailhouse, let me tell you what to do,
let me tell you how I feel,
I don't know how the dope addict feel,
I don't know how the alcoholic feel,
but [Ebm] sister, [Ab] seize on me.
[Ebm] Feel [Db] like pressing [Eb] my [Ab] way,
[Eb] [Bbm] [Eb] yes, [Ebm] I feel like [Bb] pressing my way,
[Bbm] [Eb] I'm on [Ebm] my way, yeah,
oh [Ab] yes I am, and [Ebm] I feel [Ab] like,
[Ebm] oh, good [Bbm] God almighty,

but when I look back,
at where I come from,
sometimes something on the inside of me,
make me [Ab] want to go back,
[Ebm] but a young man forgetting the things,
[Eb] which are behind,
I [Ab] pressed on the [Eb] mark,
[Ab]
[Eb] with a good Christ Jesus,
