Run the Race

Laura Barnes | Barnes Family Music

Verse 1
There are those who are gone today,
The Fathers of our faith.
They ran their course,
They kept the faith,
They finished the race.
But now it’s our time,
To approach the starting line,
And keep our gaze upon Jesus Christ.

Chorus
You can run the race;
Keep your eyes on Jesus.
You can keep the faith;
Determine to press on.
Though the road is hard,
And the journey may seem long,
You can press on.

Verse 2
Though the road won’t always be
A smooth and steady street,
And the Devil’s snares
will seem to block your way.
There is nothing you can do
Where God’s strength won’t help you through,
And when you think you can’t go on
You’ll hear Him say,

Chorus
You can run the race;
Keep your eyes on Jesus.
You can keep the faith;
Determine to press on.
Though the road is hard,
And the journey may seem long,
You can press on.

Bridge
God never said it would be easy;
He only said He’d light your way.
And when you cross that starting line
You’ll hear the Host of Heaven say.

Chorus
You can run the race;
Keep your eyes on Jesus.
You can keep the faith;
Determine to press on.
Though the road is hard,
And the journey may seem long,
Though the road is hard,
You can press on.
You can press on.
