[Verse 1]
My heart is set on You
I've made up my mind
To follow after You
Leaving the world behind
I'm pressing toward the mark
Of the prize that You have set
I'm running for the goal
And I have no regrets
[Chorus]
You are the living word
You are the living word
You are the living word
You are the living word
[Verse 2]
My heart is set on You
I've made up my mind
To follow after You
Leaving the world behind
I'm pressing toward the mark
Of the prize that You have set
I'm running for the goal
And I have no regrets
[Chorus]
You are the living word
You are the living word
You are the living word
You are the living word
[Bridge]
I'm pressing toward the mark
Of the prize that You have set
I'm running for the goal
And I have no regrets
I'm pressing toward the mark
Of the prize that You have set
I'm running for the goal
And I have no regrets
[Chorus]
You are the living word
You are the living word
You are the living word
You are the living word
[Outro]
You are the living word
You are the living word
You are the living word
You are the living word
