Nathaniel Chapman - Tombstone Lyrics

When death comes knocking at my door
And my time on earth's no more
What will my life be known for
What will history say of me
May my tombstone read
He ran the race
Faithful to the end
He was unashamed
To be known by Jesus' name
He lived a life
A reflection of God's love and of His grace
So, may my tombstone read he ran the race
I've had my ups, I've had my downs
There were times I had to turn around
So I could get up from the ground
But then I got back on my feet
So, may my tombstone read
He ran the race
Faithful to the end
He was unashamed
To be known by Jesus' name
He lived a life
A reflection of God's love and of His grace
So, may my tombstone read he ran the race
He ran the race
He ran the race
Faithful to the end
He was unashamed
To be known by Jesus' name
He lived a life
A reflection of God's love and of His grace
So, may my tombstone read he ran the race
He ran the race
He ran the race
May my tombstone read he ran the race
And my friends, that's the only thing
That's the only thing that I can hope for
Is that in the end, those who knew me well
Will know that I did not make it by my own merit
No. But that the only way that I may it
Was by the grace of God by the mercies of the Lord
Due to the work of the cross of Christ and His resurrection
And that's the only way, that's the only way that I made it
Yeah, that's a wrap, Duane
Shut the lights off on your way out
