MP3: Run The Race

From the original Dennis Jernigan live recording, This Is My Destiny.

Song History:

July 19, 1996

Psalm 27:8

Each time God allows me to host a worship conference, I seek His heart for songs to encourage just that particular group of people. As I was in prayer (which means me singing to God) for a certain conference I was leading in 1996, I was led to sing from God's point of view. The words for this song flowed out as I tried to tap into what Father was wanting to say to this particular group. What came out was simply His truth as derived from His written Word–a song of ecouragement.

Verse
Run the race with all your might
Keep your eyes on the sight of My face
And though you fall you’re not done
Just get up and keep running the race

Chorus
For this race is not over until it is done
Though fallen or weary I’ve already won
Just right up keep running as if for your life
Don’t look back
Just keep your eyes here on the Light

Verse
Keep your eyes on the goal
I am strength for your soul by My grace
Through the fire like shining gold
Run the race ‘til you behold My embrace

Chorus
For this race is not over until it is done
Though fallen or weary I’ve already won
Just right up keep running as if for your life
Don’t look back
Just keep your eyes here on the Light

Verse
Run the race with all your might
Keep your eyes on the sight of My face
And though you fall you’re not done
Just get up and keep running the race
Run the race
