Run the Race

Lyrics

Ooh, I'm so tired of fighting All these physical battles For spiritual control of my life 'Cause there's days that I win And days that it's so easy to lose I'm losing my mind I'm weary with the reasons That I'm constantly given To people who keep seeing me fall I've got to run to win To be free from the sin That easily keeps dragging me down I've got to run the race With the heart of the Lord Got to run even when it gets hard I've got to run the race With the heart of the Lord Running in the race I've got to run and never give up Oh, it's easy to believe In the things that you see Easier to live for yourself But any fool knows You choose your own road In the end, it's heaven or hell And can't you see that choosing What you're hoping is right Will never be enough in the end The only way to make it To the end of this life Is giving all your heart to Him I've got to run the race With the heart of the Lord Got to tun even when it gets hard You've got to run the race With the heart of the Lord Running in the race You've got to run and never give up Every one of us has been given A chance in the race of life And as we each face the struggles And demands of running We ultimately realize that the race set before us Is far superior and too difficult Our only hope of victory Is to abandon our feeble attempts to continue And turn to the only One who has ever won Every runner in the race for his life Has got to live with both The good and the bad But you've got to keep on running If you're going to be one Of the many who are there at the last And don't confuse your running With times to be turning Your energy with something else You've got to keep it straight Or you're gonna be too late You'll never have another chance to run You've got to run the race With the heart of the Lord Got to run even when it gets hard You've got to run the race With the heart of the Lord Running in the race, You've got to run You've got to run the race With the heart of the Lord Got to run even when it gets hard You've got to run the race With the heart of the Lord Never give up Never give up Never give up
