Running in this race
RUNNING IN THIS RACE
Told the story of Grace
As I ran in the race
And in everything
I pointed to the King
In my Faith I'd lean
Now my eyes have seen
The coming Glory
The Truth of His story
As I end the road I'm on
As I see the coming Dawn
Jesus let me see Your Face
Lord I. Gonna win this Race!
And it's Your Name on my lips
As Your Grace now eclipse
All my hopes and dreams
A single pearl now gleams
Grace is this
In case you miss
That I can even run
By the Name of the Son
Did you see the Cross?
Baring all our loss
Where the race began
Let us run there again
It is Finished! He'd spoken
All our chains were broken
By His Battered face
We're running now in Grace
Saint now open your eyes
Run now for the prize
That comes only by Grace
Running in this race
Amen
About this poem
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:25-27 more »
