And still I hear

Looking back and
creeping forward, that's
how I'm running this race I'm in.
And still I hear
the voice that's calling,
"Farther up and farther in."

Wanting what's gone
yet yearning for more.
I'm not quite sure how to begin.
And still I hear
the voice that's calling,
"Farther up and farther in."

Egypt looks lovely
at this time of year.
My sandals are now wearing thin.
And still I hear
the voice that's calling,
"Farther up and farther in."

What awaits me?
I don't know, but one
thing I know I can trust in.
And still I hear
the voice that's calling,
"Farther up and farther in."

He will fulfill
His plan for me. Though,
how, I'm not so certain.
And still I hear
the voice that's calling,
"Farther up and farther in."
