Running the Race Lyrics

They looked at me as if to ask me a question / But didn't know what to say / I tried to live their life but they didn't mention / They'd try to take mine away / I told their lies, I played their game, they decieved me / As if it's part of their plan / I can't believe God sent His Son to receive me / And take me just as I am, so look at me now

CHORUS
I'm running the race ' I'm fighting the fight / I'm running from darkness / Into the light / I'm walkin' the mile / I'm keepin' the faith, I'm not lookin' back / I'm running the race

I walked alone without a home for my heartache / No one to share in the pain / I've walked so long this way, how much more can I take? / I'd give my life for a change / I broke the law, I broke my heart, I broke even / I tried to end it for good / You shook me hard but now I'm finally believing / I thought that I never would, but look at me now

CHORUS

You felt my pain, Your life was lost / You called it gain, they called it loss / I see it now, You are the way / To live in Christ, to die is gain
