“Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds” (Hebrews 12:1-3).
There
is a race we’re called to run
As
on the Lord we fix our eyes.
Until
our course at last is done,
No
other path on earth is wise.
What
God begins, He will complete,
As
on the cross our Lord endured.
They
pierced His side, His hands, and feet,
And
thus redemption was secured.
At
times when faith begins to faint
And
we are wearied on our mind,
Our
joy gives way to our complaint,
And
confidence is hard to find.
At
such a time as this, faint not,
But
rather turn your eyes to Christ!
Remember
how for us He fought
And
for our souls was sacrificed!
Upon
the cross our Savior finished
The
work that rescues us from wrath.
Let
not our faith be now diminished,
Which
He will strengthen on our path.
O
Lord, we lift our eyes to You,
And
here we find our joy again.
Our
fainting faith You thus renew;
From
strength to strength we rise up then.
Lord,
fix our eyes on You alone,
And
set our hearts on things above,
That
we may live to make You known,
And
triumph daily in Your love.
