Lyrics
THERE IS A PATH THAT WE MUST TROD
DETERMINED BY THE WILL OF GOD
THAT BECKONS US TO COME AND SEEK HIS FACE
IT CALLS US DOWN DARK CITY ALLEYS
AND LEADS US THROUGH THE FERTILE VALLEY
ALONG THE ROAD THAT IS THE HUMAN RACE
AS WE RUN, SONS AND DAUGHTERS
HE LEADS US THERE BESIDE STILL WATERS
ALONG THE PATH HE CALLS FOR US TO TAKE
AND WITH EACH STRIDE HE GIVES US FAITH
TO STAY THE COARSE AND TO RUN THE RACE
THAT'S CALLING US TO FOLLOW IN HIS WAY
SO WE RUN , SET OUR EYES UPON THE GOAL
AND WE RUN, RUN, WE RUN
WHEN WE FACE THE DARKEST HOUR
WE’LL NEED STRENGTH AND WE’LL NEED POWER
HE'LL BE THERE TO HELP US KEEP THE PACE
HE DOES NOT LEAVE US ON THE JOURNEY
OR LET US FALL TO FEAR OR WORRY
OUR STRENGTH RENEWED BY HIS SUFFICIENT GRACE
AND TRAVELING DOWN THIS LONELY ROAD
HE'LL SHARE THE BURDEN AND THE LOAD
THAT SOMETIMES CAUSES US TO FALL
THOUGH TEARS OF PAIN MAY FILL OUR EYES
WE RISE AGAIN AND SEEK THE PRIZE
OF KNOWING HIM, FOR IT IS WORTH IT ALL
AND WE RUN , SET OUR EYES UPON THE GOAL
AND WE RUN, RUN, WE RUN
NOW UP AHEAD WHERE WE CAN'T SEE
AWAITS A CROWN OF VICTORY
FOR THOSE WHO WILL ENDURE UNTIL THE END
AND FOR THIS PRIZE WE'LL RISK IT ALL
TO FINISH STRONG AND HEED THE CALL
OF HIM WHO IS OUR SAVIOR AND OUR FRIEND
AND WITH OUR HEAVENLY REWARD
WE'LL SEE THE GLORY OF THE LORD
AND WE’LL KNOW THE VALUE OF THIS RACE WE'VE RUN
AND EVERY STEP ALONG THE WAY
IS WORTH THE PRICE WE HAVE TO PAY
TO SEE HIS FACE AND HEAR HIM SAY WELL DONE
SO WE RUN , SET OUR EYES UPON THE GOAL
AND WE RUN, RUN, RUN
