Verse 1
Know ye not that they which run in a race
run all, but one receive the prize so run, that ye may obtain.(1)
Everyone who competes (who competes) in the games goes into (into) strict training.
They do it to get a crown that will not last;
but we do it to get a crown that will forever last(2)
if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end(3)

Chorus
Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith(4)
Run with patience the race, run with patience the race(5)

Verse 2
But I press on (press on) to take hold of that which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken (taken) hold of it. But
one thing (thing) that I do: Forget what is behind me and strain toward what is ahead
I press on (press on) toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called(6)

Verse 3
Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith
Who for the joy that was set before his face
Endured the Cross, despising the shame
And is set down (set down) at the right hand
Of the throne of G-O-D, consider Him who endured
Such hostility(7) from sinful men so that you
Should not grow weary(8) and in your mind faint(9)
So run with patience the race, run with patience the race

Chorus

Vamp
High Praise!
Hallelujah Ha
Hallelujah Ha
(repeat)
