stay in the race

you started out in a race

running a fast pace

no one could slow you down

no one could turn you around

where are you now?

you didn't know that you were winning

and you were near the end

just a few more miles to go

and you would recieve your reward;

where are you now?

run this race with patience

that is set before us

looking unto jesus

the author and finisher of our fate. willing to endure trials and temptations

knowing that they only come

just to make us strong. stay in the race

keep a steady pace

keep your eyes on jesus

and you will be just fine

i will receive oh

you will receive oh

we will receive oh

a great reward.
