Dare to Run!

The assembly of the faithful, surrounding, yet unseen
Is gathered as a witness to the race
And on the track, awaiting, are the runners of today
The call has come, for each to take his place.
The road ahead is narrow, the way is sometimes steep
And only the committed claim the prize

But standing at the finish, with arms out-stretched to greet us
Is the One who has endured the race, and paid the final price

Dare to run with our eyes fixed on Jesus
Following the footsteps of the One who's gone before us
Dare to run in the power of His Spirit
Called to be victors in a race already won, Dare to Run!

We must have our Savior's vision, compassion for the lost
Courage for the future, love at any cost

Dare to run with our eyes fixed on Jesus
Following the footsteps of the One who's gone before us
Dare to run in the power of His Spirit
Called to be victors in a race already won, Dare to Run
Dare to run in the power, the power of the Lord.
