Bob Dylan – Pressing On lyrics
Well I'm pressing on
Yes, I'm pressing on
Well I'm pressing on
To the higher calling of my lord.

Many try to stop me, shake me up in my mind
Say, "Prove to me that He is Lord, show me a sign"
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
When what's lost has been found, what's to come has already been?

Well I'm pressing on
Yes, I'm pressing on
Well I'm pressing on
To the higher calling of my lord.

Shake the dust off of your feet, don't look back
Nothing can hold you down, nothing that you lack
Temptation's not an easy thing, Adam given the devil reign
Because he sinned I got no choice, it run in my vein.

Well I'm pressing on
Yes, I'm pressing on
Well I'm pressing on
To the higher calling of my lord.

    A beautiful, passionate song and performance about the struggle it is to be a child of Adam and of Jesus. I have been a Bob lover since before he got "saved". This is my second-favourite song, ever. Once he sang a remarkably powerful extra verse, which got whoops of joy from the audience. Bob believes in Christ still, as do I.

    The extra verse, as performed on November 4th 1979, and still unreleased:
    you know, the Adversary never sleeps
    he's a roaring beast.
    he always come at you at a time
    that you accept it least.
    and we know that he's responsible for death and pain and loss
    but know we've overcome him
    by the victory of the cross
