Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Out on the track of this earthly life, where the road gets rough and long,
I hear Paul’s voice from the Word of God, sayin’, “Child, keep pressin’ on!”
With my eyes on Jesus, the finish line, I’m runnin’ with all my might,
For a crown that never fades away, in the glory of His light.
(Chorus)
Run the race to win, oh, run the race to win,
Keep your heart on Jesus, let His strength begin.
Through the sweat and tears, through the joy and pain,
Run with faith unyielding, in the Savior’s name.
Lay aside the weight, cast off every sin,
With the Spirit’s power, run the race to win!
(Verse 2)
The crowd may cheer for the things of earth, but their prizes turn to dust,
But I’m runnin’ for the One who saves, in His love I place my trust.
Every step I take, I’m leanin’ on, the grace that He supplies,
For the goal is heaven’s open gate, where my Savior’s love resides.
(Chorus)
Run the race to win, oh, run the race to win,
Keep your heart on Jesus, let His strength begin.
Through the sweat and tears, through the joy and pain,
Run with faith unyielding, in the Savior’s name.
Lay aside the weight, cast off every sin,
With the Spirit’s power, run the race to win!
(Bridge)
Oh, I won’t grow weary, I won’t turn aside,
With the cross before me, I’ll run with holy pride.
His Word’s my guide, His truth my flame,
I’m runnin’ for the glory of His holy name!
(Verse 3)
When the final lap is over, and I stand before my King,
I’ll lay my burdens at His feet, and His wondrous praise I’ll sing.
For the race was won through His sacrifice, His blood has made me free,
Now I’ll hear Him say, “Well done, my child, come rest eternally.”
(Chorus)
Run the race to win, oh, run the race to win,
Keep your heart on Jesus, let His strength begin.
Through the sweat and tears, through the joy and pain,
Run with faith unyielding, in the Savior’s name.
Lay aside the weight, cast off every sin,
With the Spirit’s power, run the race to win!
(Outro)
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, my Savior and my Friend!
I’ll run the race with all my heart, ‘til I see Him in the end!
Run the race to win, oh, run the race to win,
With Jesus by my side, I’ll run the race to win!
