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 games
They deceived 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 darknes, Into the light
I'm walking the mile
I'm keeping the faith
I'm not looking back
I'm running the race
I waled 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)

<Bridge>
You felt my pain, Your life was lost
You called it gain, they called it lost
I see it now, You are the way
To live is Christ, To die is gain

(Chorus)
