Author: Martin E. Leckebusch Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #222 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ahead of us, a race to run;
we fix our eyes on God the Son -
so looking at the past no more,
forgetting what has gone before,
with eager diligence we train
as for the prize ahead we strain,
until at last our course is done.
2 He calls us now to run the race,
the path we tread, the way of grace -
discarding every weight and load
to speed our way along the road;
and though the journey may be long,
the grace of God will keep us strong
until we stand before his face. Topics: Dedication/Commitment; Ministry and Service; Sending/Commission; Vocation, Ministry Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: SOLID ROCK
