Racing For the Goal

When you've given your life to the Lord of love
Given Him heart and soul
You've said to the King, "come into my life
And take total control"
You've begun to run a race
And there's no turning back
Keep the wind in your face
As you're racing for the goal

This race that you're in
You should race to win
You should never lose your ground
With your feet prepared with the Gospel of peace
You should tell the world of this love you've found
And though the days grow cold
May you run as bold?
As the saints of old
As you're racing for the goal

There are days when you feel like you're wasting time
Falling off the pace and leaving you far behind
But when you see His face of wonder
Hear His voice of thunder
It keeps alive this hope that's burning inside
Oh, burning inside

Though the very young grow weary and tired
And strong young men fall down
Yet if you hope in the Lord of Lords
New strength again can be found
You will rise with wings of eagles
You will run and not grow tired
As you're racing for the goal

There are days when you feel like you're wasting time
Falling off the pace and leaving you far behind
But when you see His face of wonder
Hear His voice of thunder
It keeps alive this hope that's burning inside
Oh, burning inside

There are days when you feel like you're wasting time
Falling off the pace and leaving you far behind
But when you see His face of wonder
Hear His voice of thunder
It keeps alive this hope that's burning inside
Oh, burning inside
