**Verse 1**
There’s a cloud of saints before us,
Shining witnesses of grace,
They have run the path with courage,
Now they cheer us in the race.
Lay aside the sin that binds us,
Cast the weight that slows us down,
Pressing forward with endurance,
Till we wear the victor’s crown.
**Chorus**
Run with perseverance,
Eyes on Christ our King,
Looking unto Jesus,
Our hope, our strength, our wing.
From the cross He bore the shame,
To the throne He overcame—
Lift your heart, His name proclaim,
Endure the race in Jesus’ name.
**Verse 2**
For the joy that lay before Him,
Jesus bore the cross with love,
Now He reigns in highest glory,
Crowned forever up above.
When the trials fall upon us,
And the way grows dark and long,
We will run with faith unshaken,
For His strength will keep us strong.
**Chorus**
Run with perseverance,
Eyes on Christ our King,
Looking unto Jesus,
Our hope, our strength, our wing.
From the cross He bore the shame,
To the throne He overcame—
Lift your heart, His name proclaim,
Endure the race in Jesus’ name.
**Verse 3**
Do not falter, do not weary,
Fix your eyes upon His face,
He endured the world’s rejection,
Poured out mercy, endless grace.
Let His Spirit guide each moment,
Faithful Savior, ever true,
Till the race of life is finished,
And His glory shines on you.
**Chorus**
Run with perseverance,
Eyes on Christ our King,
Looking unto Jesus,
Our hope, our strength, our wing.
From the cross He bore the shame,
To the throne He overcame—
Lift your heart, His name proclaim,
Endure the race in Jesus’ name.
