Running the race with grace
And worshipping on the way
Moment by moment seeking God’s face
And letting Him have full sway
Determined in heart to follow through
Regardless of what attempts to hinder
Running daily with the relative few
Who to Jesus Christ have surrendered
Considering our brothers here and abroad
And our sisters the world around
And all the brethren in Christ applaud
As together we raise the joyful sound
Sharing all our sorrows together
And weeping with them who weep
Encouraging every sister and brother
Whether the days be sunny or bleak
This day we praise God for His grace
And the privilege to worship Him
Grateful that we are candidates in this race
Having received Christ’s pardon for our sin
Yes! Running the race with grace
And worshipping on the way
Is a theme we should all embrace
And demonstrate each and every day
Enjoy God’s blessings as they come
And as we sing and dance and share
In this foretaste of God’s coming kingdom
Let us praise Him for His love and care.
