There’s a race that we’ve been given
unlike any race before.
And because each race is different
there’s no way of keeping score.

The race of faith we’re running
offers freedom in our pace.
It’s because we’ve each been gifted
in accordance with God’s grace.

There’s a joy that comes with racing
from the starting line to end
knowing that the race we’re given
is unique with every bend.

God alone knows what’s intended,
what’s expected, He can tell
if the joy with which we started
will be matched by ending well.

And the key is where we’re focused.
When we fix our eyes above,
we will run with perseverance
motivated by Christ’s love.
