Pioneer, by Nancy Honeytree

Pioneer, pioneer
Keep pressing onward beyond your fear
Only the Father goes before you to your own frontier
Youʼre a pioneer
[Chorus]

Uncharted wilderness stretches before you
And you thrive on going where no one has gone
Still it gets lonely when darkness rears
So sing by the fire until the dawn

[repeat chorus]

You travel light, and you travel alone
And when you arrive nobody knows
But the Father in heaven, He is glad you can go,
For those who come after you will need the road

[repeat chorus]

And what you have done, others will do
Bigger and better and faster than you
But you canʼt look back; no, you gotta keep pressing through
Thereʼs a wilderness pathway and itʼs calling you

Calling you, calling you clear
Keep pressing onward, you can't stay here
Only the Father goes before you to your own frontier
Youʼre a pioneer

Only the Father goes before you to your own frontier
Youʼre a pioneer

[written and sung by Nancy Honeytree]

Do not go where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and make a trail.
     ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have followed God closely,
my feet in his footprints,
not once swerving from his way.
     ~ Job 23:11, Message
