Running Toward Glory

Lord Jesus, I leave the past behind,

The pain, the tears,

the things that bind.

I will not live in yesterday,

Your grace has shown a brighter way.

The things behind, I lay them down,

I seek the prize,

the heavenly crown. With faith in You,

I'll run this race,

My heart is fixed upon Your face.

I press on,

I press on, To the high calling of Your love.

You are my hope,

You are my prize,

My greatest treasure in the skies.

I press on, Lord,

day by day, You are the Truth,

the Life, the Way.

Until I see

You face to face,

I'll run this race by faith and grace.

This world is not my final home,

I'm not forgotten or alone.

My citizenship is up above,

I'm held forever in Your love.

Not earthly things will rule my heart,

For You, my Lord,

have set me apart.

Though worldly treasures fade away,

Your kingdom stands forever and always.

One day, Lord, You will come again,

And wipe away all tears and pain.

You will transform this earthly frame,

To be like You,

my risen King. By Your great power,

all things You raise,

And every tongue will sing Your praise.

My mortal body will be made new,

My everlasting hope is found in You.

When I grow weary,

I will not fall,

Your faithful voice will be my call.

When I face trials along the way,

Your strength will help me through each day.

No turning back, no living in fear,

My heavenly Savior is always near.

The prize before me,

Christ my King, Forever I'll worship,

forever I'll sing!

I press on, I press on,

Till I behold Your glorious throne.

You are my hope,

You are my prize,

My eternal home beyond the skies.

I press on, Lord,

faithfully, Until the day You welcome me.

My life is Yours,

my heart is true,

My greatest joy is being with You.

Jesus, lead me until the end,

My Savior, my Lord,

my faithful Friend. The past is behind me,

the prize is in view,

And

every

step, I'll follow You.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
