When you've given your life to the Lord of love Given Him heart and soul You've said to the King, Come into my life And take total control You've begun to run a race And there's no turning back Keep the wind in your face As you're racing for the goal This race that you're in You should race to win You should never lose your ground With your feet prepared with the Gospel of peace You should tell the world of this love you've found And though the days grow cold May you run as bold? As the saints of old As you're racing for the goal There are days when you feel like you're wasting time Falling off the pace and leaving you far behind But when you see His face of wonder Hear His voice of thunder It keeps alive this hope that's burning inside Oh, burning inside Though the very young grow weary and tired And strong young men fall down Yet if your hope in the Lord of Lords New strength again can be found You will rise with wings of eagles You will run and not grow tired As you're racing for the goal There are days when you feel like you're wasting time Falling off the pace and leaving you far behind But when you see His face of wonder Hear His voice of thunder It keeps alive this hope that's burning inside Oh, burning inside
