People have seen how great God can be.
They’ve witnessed his glory like you and me.
They’ve shouted. They’ve cheered. They’ve sung his praise,
And they’re cheering us on through all of our days.
Drop every burden and unload every sack.
Shake off those self-chasers that hold your heart back.
Those me-first desires will trip up your pace.
It’s time to get moving, so run your own race.
The crowd’s in the stands. They’re clapping with glee.
They’re rooting for you. They’re shouting, “Let’s see.
Let’s see how you run. Let’s see how you go.
With patience and joy, keep steady and slow.”
The race isn’t quick, and it’s not always fun,
But it’s God’s perfect race and yours to be run.
Don’t lose your focus and don’t stop in your lane.
Run forward with courage through sunshine and rain.
So when you feel weary, when you’re out of steam,
Remember their cheers and remember your team.
With God’s help, you’ll finish. You’ll stand in your place.
Just throw off your burdens and run your great race.
