NEW 2016 YOUTH THEME SONG: “PRESS FORWARD IN THE TRUTH”

I’m so excited to release a new piece of music for the youth! It incorporates 2 Nephi 31:20, the new LDS youth theme for 2016.

Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.”

Press Forward In The Truth
Verse 1
We are on a path that leads us Home
To our Father, whom we’ve always known.
And with all of our strength, even when it’s steep,
We must keep on climbing.
We have cov’nants to keep. 
CHORUS
We will press forward in the truth
With steadfast faith in Jesus Christ
Hope alive; perfectly bright
With love of God and of all men. 
We must feast upon the word of Christ,
And to the end endure
For if we do these things, says God,
Eternal life is sure. 
Verse 2
Many things distract us on our way
Calling out to tempt and lead astray
But the spirit will guide when we live His word
If we keep our focus
Our safety’s assured. 
CHORUS
We will press forward in the truth
With steadfast faith in Jesus Christ
Hope alive; perfectly bright
With love of God and of all men. 
We must feast upon the word of Christ,
And to the end endure
For if we do these things, says God,
Eternal life is sure.
(Press forward! Press forward!)
For if we do these things, says God, eternal life is sure.

When I wrote this, I had the youth in mind for also playing it as well, and tried to make it quite simple. It’s in the key of C and there are soprano and alto parts.

I’m sure the Church will have something available too, but if you’re looking for another option to support your efforts in teaching the youth this new theme, I invite you to download this as well. It’s free and I’m so happy to have it used 🙂
