"ON. Toward. Press." by Hope Boykin (Excerpt 3)

"ON. Toward. Press." - follows a solemn journey for acceptance, carving a path not yet understood, and growing in strength within a world of confusion and frustration. A story not so unfamiliar- a truthful sharing of a life feeling unworthy, straining for the prize only Faith can provide. With music by Ali Jackson and Scott Morehouse and original text written by Hope Boykin, "ON. Toward. Press." is a demonstration of perseverance at the most human level.
“... forgetting what is behind, straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal...” Philippians 3:12-14
The work made its world premiere in Dallas in February 2020.
