Lord I'm runnin', tryin' to make a hundred
Ninety-nine and a half won't do
[x4]
Lord I'm runnin', tryin' to make one hundred because
Ninety-nine and a half won't do
[x2]
On my knees everyday
Lord please hear me when I pray
Please forgive me when I stumble
Lord, I wanna be in that number
Lord I'm runnin', tryin' to make one hundred because
Ninety-nine and a half won't do
[x2]
On my knees everyday
Lord please hear me when I pray
Please forgive me when I stumble
Lord, I wanna be in that number
Lord I'm runnin', tryin' to make one hundred because
Ninety-nine and a half won't do
[x2]
Satan tries to turn me around
Tries to make me lose my ground
But I don't worry, and I don't fret
I've come to far and I'm not tired yet
[x2]
Lord I'm runnin', tryin' to make one hundred because
Ninety-nine and a half won't do
[x2]
Lord, I'm runnin'...
Lord I'm runnin', tryin to make one hundred because
Ninety-nine and a half, ninety nine and a half, ninety nine and a half won't do
