Gaiety Amid Darkness

32

Finish My Race

VERSE 1

I'd been knocked down once too many

Lying on the hard ground, I grieved

Tears blurred my vision, but I could still see

I was in a time of hardship and need.

VERSE 2

But that was many years ago

When I felt like there was no hope

Now that I'm inside His true Church

I have the strength and will to endure.

BRIDGE

There's no need to look back

On the memories of the past

When you know what you have today

Helps you make it through every day.

CHORUS

In the face of sufferings and pain

On this earth full of chaos and hate

I shall not be deterred

Until the end, I will endure.

My feelings of sadness and hurt

Will not stop me from staying alert

No matter what it takes

I will strive to finish my race.

VERSE 3

I've been persecuted by my own family

And friends who were dear to me

I can only hope one day they'll comprehend

The Word of God, Whose love has no end.

BRIDGE

There's no need to look back

On the memories of the past

When you know what you have today

Helps you make it through every day.

CHORUS

In the face of sufferings and pain

On this earth full of chaos and hate

I shall not be deterred

Until the end, I will endure.

My feelings of sadness and hurt

Will not stop me from staying alert

No matter what it takes

I will strive to finish my race.

CODA

I shall endure my trials, for my Lord God

Wholeheartedly, until the end

And in the blink of an eye, all pain will be gone

As I forever sing praises unto Him.
