RUN THE RACE

When life seems too hard and the valleys too deep, when the road looks too long to travel alone
When dreams fade away and you cry out in pain; and wonder if you can go on
When you feel most like giving up, look to the Lord and pray
You'll feel His love, His mighty strength, You'll hear Him gently say
---------------------------------------------
Chorus:
Run the race I've set before you, (Oooo…) Keep your eyes fixed on me
(My dear child…) My dear child
I know the road is long. (But thru it all…) But thru it all I'll keep you running strong,
Don't give up dear child of mine, for I can see the finish line
When you run the race, I'll be there by your side
-----------------------------------------------
When you feel confused and think there's no hope, When you yearn for rest but only know
despair
When you long for love, You find loneliness and wonder does God really care
When you feel most like giving up, Look to the Lord and pray
You'll feel His love, His mighty strength, You'll hear Him gently say
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Run the race I've set before, You feeling all alone
My hands were nailed, My sides was pierced for you….For you
Chorus:
When you run the race. We all run the race
He'll be there by your side. Run the race with Jesus. Run the race with Jesus

FORWARD BY FAITH
Lord, You are the potter and we are the clay
Mold our lives into vessels for Your service, we pray
 And when we go through the fire, may you find us strong and true,
As by faith we follow onward, placing our trust in You

Chorus:
Forward by faith, led by Your hand. Willing to follow Your ev'’ry command,
United in spirit, together we stand. We will go forward by faith.

Help us heav’'nly Father, to walk by faith and not by sight

Living each day in vict'ry by the power of Your might
Lord, work within us, according to Your will,
As we yield our lives in service, Your plans to fulfill.
Chorus
Bridge:
Majestic'lly in victory, we'll follow on,
Pressing t'ward the heav'nly prize
That is ours in the name Jesus,
The name of Jesus Christ.

Chorus:
We’ll go forward by faith, led by Your hand
Willing to follow Your ev'ry command,
United in spirit, together we stand
We will go forward by faith.
We will go forward by faith.
Forward by faith.

PRESS ON!

There's a course that must be finished. There's a race that must be run.
There's a mission to accomplish, and a battle to be won.
We've been called to take the challenge by God's might and through His Son;
 He will give us grace to complete the race, moving forward, pressing on!
______________________________

Chorus:
Toward the hope of our high calling, Toward the promise we've received,
With the strength that we've been given pressing on to victory,
And toward the One who's run before us, As we lay each weight aside,
'Til the race is run, 'til the prize is won, ‘Til we reach the finish line...Press On!"
________________
There's a faithful cloud of witnesses who inspire us in our task.
They have fought the fight; they have run the race; they have won the crown at last.
And the lives they've lived remind us that though the race at times seems long,
God will give the grace to complete the race and the courage to press on!

Repeat Chorus
___________________________
T’ward the hope of our high calling, T’ward the promise we've received,
With the strength that we've been given pressing on to victory, VICTORY!
And t’ward the One who's run before us, As we lay each weight aside,
'Til the race is run, 'til the prize is won, 'til we reach the finish line...Press On!"
Press on!
Press on and on!
Press on!
