Well I know Lord it?s true, you?re the answer to my troubles
You?re the author and the finisher of my faith
The anchor of my life; I?m gonna trust you my redeemer
My desire; precious Jesus, you?re familiar with my weakness
And I fix my hope upon you Jesus
You?re the author and finisher of my faith
I will trust in you all the days of my life
And I?m gonna reach to my home
I?m in the race, moving on to you Father
No more turning back, I?m in the race to my destiny
I?m in the race, moving on to you Father
No more turning back, I?m in the race to my destiny
Until I see you my redeemer, until I see the Man who died for me
I will never lose my way, ?cause I?m in the race to my destiny
I?m in the race, moving on to you Father
No more turning back, I?m in the race to my destiny
I?m in the race, moving on to you Father
No more turning back, I?m in the race to my destiny
For I believe my savior you live, I?m gonna run the race before me
Step by step to the winning line, I?m in the race to my Father
I?m in the race, moving on to you Father
No more turning back, I?m in the race to my destiny
I?m in the race, moving on to you Father
No more turning back, I?m in the race to my destiny

Paul Mwai's 'Racing Up' is a Kenyan gospel song about perseverance and faith in the Christian journey. The lyrics compare life to a race toward God, with the singer expressing trust in Jesus as the author and finisher of faith. The song emphasizes moving forward without turning back, anchored by hope in the redeemer. It draws on Hebrews 12:1-2, which speaks of running the race with endurance while fixing eyes on Jesus. The repetitive chorus reinforces determination to reach one's heavenly destiny.
