Run the Race

[Intro]
[drum fill, crowd noise rising]
(Yeah, yeah)
Lace up
We movin'
[Verse 1]
Heart beat
Like a kick drum hittin'
I was stuck in the stands
Just sittin'
Scroll in my hand
Mind driftin'
Whole life heavy
But my feet never listen
Then I heard, "Child
You were built for the distance
Drop that weight
Every chain, every misstep"
Tied my doubts
Like shoes, double-knotted them tight
Looked up
Saw the track stretchin' into the light
[Chorus]
I’m gonna run the race set before me
Eyes up, I won’t lose focus now
Cloud of witnesses all around me
I hear ’em shoutin', “Don’t you stop, don’t you stop”
I’m gonna run the race set before me
Every breath, every step, sold out
Leave that baggage right at Your glory
I’m gonna run, I’m gonna run this out (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Old shame tried
To grab at my ankle
Old flames text
Tryin’ pull me back tangled
Voices in my head
Say, "Quit, you’re through"
But I got my eyes locked
Straight ahead on You
I ain’t runnin’ for a medal
Or a blue first place
I’m runnin’ ’cause You finished it
You took my place
You took nails to Your feet
So mine could fly
So when pain hits hard
I remember the why
[Chorus]
I’m gonna run the race set before me
Eyes up, I won’t lose focus now
Cloud of witnesses all around me
I hear ’em shoutin', “Don’t you stop, don’t you stop”
I’m gonna run the race set before me
Every breath, every step, sold out
Leave that baggage right at Your glory
I’m gonna run, I’m gonna run this out
[Bridge]
(Go)
Throw off the weight, let it fall to the floor
Every fear, every sin I was draggin' before
I got grace in my lungs
Holy fire in my stride
When I’m weak, You the strength
That’s alive inside (woah)
I won’t fold, I won’t fade
When the night gets loud
I got saints in the seats
Like a roaring crowd
From the start to the tape
You've been right in my lane
So I run, so I run
In Your name, in Your name
[Chorus]
I’m gonna run the race set before me
Eyes up, I won’t lose focus now
Cloud of witnesses all around me
I hear ’em shoutin', “Don’t you stop, don’t you stop”
I’m gonna run the race set before me
Every breath, every step, sold out
Leave that baggage right at Your glory
I’m gonna run, I’m gonna run this out (yeah)
[Outro]
(Keep runnin')
Heart beat
Like a kick drum hittin'
’Til the day that I see You
I’m sprintin'
