For the joy set before him
For the sake of the cross
He endured every trial
Counted every cost
Through death was His glory
He bore the wrath alone
Inviting us now
His work has atoned
I will run the race
Enduring till forever
Taking up my cross
And carry till the end
I will run the race
Enduring till forever
Taking up my cross
And carry till the end
I did not know your glory
I walked this path alone
I was broken and a wanderer
No place to call my home
There is no other offer
There is no better name
That I could have run to
Or I could ever claim
I will run the race
Enduring till forever
Taking up my cross
And carry till the end
I will run the race
Enduring till forever
Taking up my cross
And carry till the end
As long as I travel
On this uneasy road
You promise to be with me
And carry my load
When beaten down and struck
I'll never be crushed
Because Christ is my anthem
And my eternal life
My eternal life
I will run the race
Enduring till forever
Taking up my cross
And carry till the end
I will run the race
Enduring till forever
Taking up my cross
And carry till the end
I will run the race
Enduring till forever
Taking up my cross
And carry till the end
