As I run the race for Christ,

Many obstacles seek to stop me,

Some are new sins,

Coming from ahead to entice me away,

But most are my old sins,

That rush up from behind to tackle me,

But whatever evil knocks me down,

I'll wrestle away from them,

And rise again to continue the race for Christ.


As I run the race for Christ,

Many obstacles seek to stop me,

Some are my old friends,

Who taunt me, saying I have no fun,

But most are new acquaintances,

Who call me a fool to believe in God,

But whenever evil tries to lure me away,

I'll just ignore them,

As I continue to run the race for Christ.


As I run the race for Christ,

Many obstacles seek to stop me,

Some are hard blows,

Dealt from the tragedies of life,

But most is the constant pressure,

From the day to day dealings,

But whenever evil tries to break me,

I'll just call on His Name to protect me,

As I continue to run the race for Christ.
