running

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.

1 Corinthians 9:24

The race is it. / It’s life.

The pace is set. / Jesus ran it.

The course is clear. / I am proclaiming the gospel.

The finish is near. / Eternity is ahead.

All believers run to tell. / We speak and we live it.

But will we run it well? / Can the ones who need it see it?

A prize will be given. / The Master will reward.

The hope is heaven. / Our future is perfect in every way.

My feet wear His shoes. / The gospel of peace is upon me.

I must not lose. / This is all I really live for.

Spirit’s motion my breeze. / Refreshed in Him I run.

I am set at ease. / My heart is focused.

I must be running with heart. / Thankfulness drives me.

I get a good running start. / God’s power is behind me.

I’m ready to win this prize. / Souls gathered, we worship in glory.

My reward is in Jesus’ eyes. / Praises we sing at His throne!
