There is a race that must be run
By all who dwell the earth
To win, we need God’s living Son
And grace of second birth
To be reborn, is truly grace
That none should ever boast
To help us through a life long race
We need The Holy Ghost
The Breath of God we must receive
His strength to journey through
From death, we’ll truly take our leave
Beginning life anew
Throughout the race we need God’s Light
No eye from Him must stray
Look neither left nor to the right
Along the narrow way
There’s nought in Christ to wear us down
From worldly ties we’re free
Before us lies a golden crown
From He who’s face we’ll see
To overcome this arduous race
Life’s promises to win
It matters not how swift the pace
But that we flee from sin!
Satanic hurdles may be found
Inducing much despair
But though they stand in miry ground
They can’t survive a prayer
Those who endure! Will God delight
Anointing them with oils
Like Christ, in robes of purest white
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']We’ll share the victor’s spoils. [/FONT]
