Runnin’ (Marathon) Lyrics

Wakin' up to the light of a brand new day
Remind myself once again of amazing grace
I understand it’s the only way to stay in this race
Workin' out my salvation Lord You set the pace
Pushing through even when it feels like I might break
You're the strength in every move I make

Where we’re headed I want You to be my guide
So I don't really need to know
Cuz when You move I move
I'm staying right in stride
I'm ready when You say go
And I'll be

Runnin' for my life
I'll be runnin'
For the prize that is You
Lord it’s You
So I’ll keep on movin' on
Like a marathon
Runnin’ for my life
I'll be runnin'
For the prize that is You
Lord it's You
So I’ll keep on movin' on
Runnin' this marathon
Just a closer walk with You that's my goal
Forgetting what I left behind as I journey on
Can't dwell on what happened long ago
You're the wind in my back that pushes me to win
Makin me to feel like first place where I'm coming in
I don't want to but I have to admit
Some days I just wanna quit
I'm ready to throw the towel in

Where we're headed I want You to be my guide
So I don't really need to know
Cuz when You move I move
I'm staying right in stride
I'm ready when You say go
And I'll be

Runnin' for my life
I'll be runnin'
For the prize that is You
Lord it's You
So I'll keep on movin' on
Like a marathon
Runnin' for my life
I'll be runnin'
For the prize that is You
Lord it's You
So I'll keep on movin' on
Runnin' this marathon
I'm not in a hurry ‘cuz I know I'll get there
And there's no need to worry cuz in Your will is where
My race will be won
That's why I'll run
‘Til my race is done
I'll keep on runnin, runnin, runnin, runnin

Runnin' for my life
I'll be runnin'
For the prize that is You
Lord it's You
So I'll keep on movin' on
Like a marathon
Runnin' for my life
I'll be runnin'
For the prize that is You
Lord it's You
So I'll keep on movin' on
Runnin' this marathon
