Running the Race

God, You always find me in the darkness of night

Lord, I always try too hard to walk into Your light

Walking on water, I start to sink

I run away and question everything I’ve ever seen

And I find myself looking up from the floor at Your feet

Surrendering to You that sometimes I just don’t believe that

Your truth gives me strength

Your promise gives me hope

Your loves gives me faith

Your cross gives me grace, I know

And I find myself looking up from the floor at Your feet

Surrendering to You that sometimes I just don’t believe

And You pull me up and hold me close and whisper in my ear

That You’ll never leave my side and I have nothing to fear because

Your truth gives me strength

Your promies gives me hope

Your love gives me faith

Your cross gives me grace, I know

And I can’t help but cry out loud sweet praises to Your name

Knowing that You’ll change my heart and I’ll never be the same

Lord, You always rescue me from the lies that satan told

Lord, You always warm my heart even after it’s turned cold

And we laugh and cry that finally I’ve come home again

A prodigal so lost and found that You still wish to send

And I can’t help but cry out loud sweet praises to Your name

Knowing that You’ll change my heart and I’ll never be the same because

Your truth gives me strength

Your promies gives me hope

Your love gives me faith

Your cross gives me grace, I know

That this is where I long to be,

Looking up from the floor at Your feet

I know this is where I long to be

Looking up from the floor at Your feet

I feel like this song has so much more meaning now than when I wrote it…
