Story behind the song
This song was built around the scripture where Paul tells us to run the race God has given us...paralleling the christian life with a foot race..except in this race God gives the strength! This song was written while I was at college in 1994. It really kinda fell together after the lyrics were written.
Lyrics
"THE RACE" ccccCan you see the light, That shines down from His Heart, ccSo full of love for everyone, He's keeping my focus to run... ccccccChorus: ccccRun the Race ccDon't give up, ccRun the Race, ccReach the top, ccKeep the pace, Follow the Lamb, ccHe holds out His hand... ccccccDo not be weary in doing well, Don't give in to the forces of hell... ccJust run... ccccHuman I am still, In need of knowledge of His will, To run the race of humankind, ccHe's guarding the gates of my mind... ccccccChorus: ccccccRacing for the mark he has set, ccI know He isn't done with me yet, So I run... ccccSolo ccccChorus ccccccCopyright 1994-1999(c) by Andrew Wiest. ccWritten July1994. ccScripture: I Cor. 9:24,11 Tim. 4:7-8, Heb. 12:1-2
