[Verse 1:]
Thought my mistakes
Would change the way you love me
But I remember that you say
You'd said never go
You'd never leave
So with that in mind
[Chorus:]
I'll keep marching on
Till the sun stops from shining
I'll keep marching
Till I'm walking with you
Whatchu gone do
I'll keep marching on
Till the water dries up in the ocean
Yea yeah help me now
I'll keep marching on
Till I'm walking with you
Walking with you
[Bridge:]
Lost in the crowd of the city in a place where
No knew my name
Your love found me I was hiding
Barely surviving
You heard the silent cry of my pain
Now I can say
[Chorus:]
I'll keep marching on
Till the sun stops from shining
I'll keep marching on
Till I'm walking with you
I'll keep marching on
Till the water dries up in the ocean
Can you help me now
I'll keep marching on
Till I'm walking with you
[Breakdown:]
And I won't let feeling stop me now
And I won't let guilt stop me now
And I won't let shame stop me now
Cause I'm marching in your name
And I won't let feeling stop me now
And I won't let blame stop me now
And I won't let nothing stop me now
Nothing will stop me cause I'm marching in the
Name of love
[Breakdown:]
Ain't no stopping (ain't no stopping)
I'll keep marching (I'll keep marching)
Ain't no stopping (ain't no stopping)
I'll keep marching (I'll keep marching)
When depression tries to come (ain't no stopping)
I'll keep marching (I'll keep marching)
Holding on... (Ain't no stopping)
I'll keep marching (I'll keep marching)
[Breakdown:]
Will death stop me
NO
Will fear stop me
NO
Will doubt stop me
NO
No, no, no, no, no, no
Will they stop me
NO
Will anything stop me
NO
Nothing will separate me
NO
From the love of Christ
No, no, no, no
Ain't no stopping (no, no, no)
I'll keep marching (no, no, no)
Ain't no stopping (no, no, no)
I'll keep marching
"Marching On" by Jessica Reedy is a powerful and uplifting song that inspires listeners to keep persevering in their faith journey, no matter the obstacles they may face. With its soulful melody and heartfelt lyrics, the song encourages believers to continue marching forward, trusting in God's unfailing love and guidance.
The song begins with the recognition of our human nature to make mistakes and the fear that these mistakes may affect the way God loves us. However, the lyrics remind us of God's promise to never leave or forsake us, giving us the confidence to keep moving forward.
One scripture verse that relates to the theme of the song is found in Romans 8:38-39, which says, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." This verse reminds us that nothing can separate us from God's love, and it gives us the courage to continue marching on, knowing that He is with us every step of the way.
In the bridge of the song, Jessica Reedy expresses her gratitude for God's love and how it found her when she was lost and barely surviving. This speaks to the transformative power of God's love and how it can bring healing and restoration to our lives. It reminds us of the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32, where the father's love welcomes the wayward son back home with open arms. God's love is relentless, pursuing us even in our darkest moments, and it is this love that gives us the strength to keep marching on.
The breakdown section of the song is particularly powerful, as it declares that nothing can stop us from marching in the name of love. It emphasizes that no matter what challenges or obstacles we may face, we have the power and the authority to overcome them through the love of Christ. This section reminds me of Philippians 4:13, which says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." With Christ by our side, there is no stopping us, and we can march on with confidence and victory.
"Marching On" by Jessica Reedy is an anthem of hope and perseverance. It reminds us that even in the midst of trials and tribulations, we can trust in God's love and continue marching forward in our faith journey. The song encourages us to hold on to our faith, even when doubt, fear, and shame try to hold us back. It reminds us that nothing can separate us from the love of God and that we have the power to overcome every obstacle that comes our way. So let us march on, walking with God, knowing that He is faithful and will lead us to victory.
