It's a song of progressive sanctification in our relationship with God. Inspiration seems to derive from Philippians 3:12-16, where the author, Paul, writes of how he has understanding of the call on our lives, but has not yet reached the goal. He urges readers to join him, not looking back but "pressing on". I believe the lyrics were written in a form of contextualization in order to appeal to a greater audience, and in that sense they can apply to overcoming any life situation. However, I believe that it's root in scripture and application to a Christian life is undeniable.
