We are runners in an earthly race
Headed toward the final finish line,
We press on by faith in God,
Knowing we must redeem the time.

There are many things which hinder
And, stumbling blocks along the way,
But when we give our cares to Jesus
He will keep us, as we trust Him and pray.

The weights of sin are very subtile
Some are not easily recognized,
Satan tries to gain a foothold,
By his manifest schemes and lies.

We must have the Word of God
Hidden deep within our heart and soul,
When we believe God's promises,
His faithfulness, we shall behold.

So lay aside each weight of sin
Trust fully in God's amazing grace,
He will reveal the ways of truth,
Jesus will keep you in life's earthly race.
