Surrounded by this cloud of saints Who lived their lives and died by faith Keep running for the prize that's sure to come And when the run is all but done With your weary feet becoming numb Look to the ones who have walked the road before The saints of old whose lives have called you to endure And here's one more Consider Him, the Christ The founder and perfecter of our faith Who in spite of the shame and disgrace Endured the cross, and he did it for the joy Consider Him, the Son Our example of what it means To race and run by faith He endured the cross, and he did for the joy So lay aside every weight And rid yourself of all your sin Before you lies a lengthy race Eendure for the win And when you find you're growing tired Of all the trials, pain, and scorn Look to Christ and feel inspired He has been there before So lay aside every weight And rid yourself of all your sin Before you lies a lengthy race Endure for the win And when your Father sends the rod And life seems to come undone Remember it's the love of God It's the love of God It's His love for his daughters and sons So keep running, running, running Keep running all your days Keep running, running, running There is glory that awaits Keep running, running, running Keep running till it hurts Keep running, running, running Till you leave this earth
