Chorus / Description :
Im running the race down to the last minute
Mercy and grace are keeping me in it
Theres a fire in my soul Im fully committed
I'm running the race and I'm gonna finish
Before i was born into history and time
You planned creation with me in mind
You formed my heart, You solved my face
I was made in your image, I'm no mistake .
You chose my family the place of my birth
You knew all about me, You thought I had worth
I was called out to serve, your kingdom work
And all of my days are written down in your book .
I'm running the race down to the last minute
Mercy and grace are keeping me in it
There's a fire in my soul I'm fully committed
I'm running the race and I'm gonna finish .
I've fallen down in this race of life
But you came to my rescue time after time
You told me you loved me you weren't counting my sin
In you I found courage to rise up again .
I know you are for me you want me to win
I give you my soul till the very end
Out there before me I see the prize
Jesus is standing at the finish line .
I'm running the race down to the last minute
Mercy and grace are keeping me in it
There's a fire in my soul I'm fully committed
I'm running the race and I'm gonna finish .
I'm running the race and I'm gonna finish
I'm running the race and I'm gonna finish
Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain.
And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they `do it' to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air:
For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, `himself' man, Christ Jesus,
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:
Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
