Run The Race
by Harvest

Album: Carry On

Ooh, I'm so tired of fighting
All these physical battles
For spiritual control of my life
'Cause there's days that I win
And days that it's so easy to lose
I'm losing my mind
I'm weary with the reasons
That I'm constantly given
To people who keep seeing me fall
I've got to run to win
To be free from the sin
That easily keeps dragging me down

I've got to run the race
With the heart of the Lord
Got to run even when it gets hard
I've got to run the race
With the heart of the Lord
Running in the race
I've got to run and never give up

Oh, it's easy to believe
In the things that you see
Easier to live for yourself
But any fool knows
You choose your own road
In the end, it's heaven or hell
And can't you see that choosing
What you're hoping is right
Will never be enough in the end
The only way to make it
To the end of this life
Is giving all your heart to Him

I've got to run the race
With the heart of the Lord
Got to tun even when it gets hard
You've got to run the race
With the heart of the Lord
Running in the race
You've got to run and never give up

Every one of us has been given
A chance in the race of life
And as we each face the struggles
And demands of running
We ultimately realize that the race set before us
Is far superior and too difficult
Our only hope of victory
Is to abandon our feeble attempts to continue
And turn to the only One who has ever won

Every runner in the race for his life
Has got to live with both
The good and the bad
But you've got to keep on running
If you're going to be one
Of the many who are there at the last
And don't confuse your running
With times to be turning
Your energy with something else
You've got to keep it straight
Or you're gonna be too late
You'll never have another chance to run

You've got to run the race
With the heart of the Lord
Got to run even when it gets hard
You've got to run the race
With the heart of the Lord
Running in the race, You've got to run

You've got to run the race
With the heart of the Lord
Got to run even when it gets hard
You've got to run the race
With the heart of the Lord

Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
