Pressed Out Of Measure Song

Pressed out of measure, and pressed to all length;

Pressed so intensely it seems beyond strength;

Pressed in the body and pressed in the soul

Pressed in the mind till the dark surges roll:

Pressure by foes, and pressure by friends;

Pressure on pressure till life nearly ends:

 

Pressed into knowing no helper but God;

Pressed into loving the staff and the rod:

Pressed into liberty where nothing clings;

Pressed into faith for impossible things:

Pressed into living a life in the Lord;

Pressed into living a Christ-life outpoured.

– Annie Johnson Flint
