I have joined the adventure to run in the race,
Run in the race of life!
With my eyes on Jesus I will run to win,
run to claim the prize!
There’s temptations on the left and distractions on the right,
But I'll keep my gaze fixed ahead;
I will not be discouraged by the devil and his lies,
I will hold to Christ instead!
CHORUS:
Run to win, run to win! I will run with my eyes on Jesus!
He has promised me that He will carry me,
as I lay aside my sin.
Run to win, run to win - in answer to the call,
Following His footsteps, I will run to win!
The road may be narrow, the pathway steep,
Still I will keep on running
Through fiery trials and waters deep,
As I learn to trust Him fully.
He has given me the courage,
And He's given me the strength.
I don't need to be afraid,
I can run with confidence, I can gain the victory
As I read his Word and pray!
(Repeat Chorus)
