Lyrics
God in your great wisdom,
You called us to serve in this place.
We, as Your servants,
Now seek a fresh glimpse of Your face.
Your loving eyes restore our vision;
Your mighty acts deserve our praise.
Burning fires that were once desires
Return again through Your grace.
Keep the race before us;
Keep our hearts turned toward the prize
With patience and endurance,
The cross standing firm in our eyes.
Keep the race before us;
And reward us, Lord, by Your grace
With crowns of righteousness from the righteous Judge,
When we finish the race.
Lord, we ask for courage to face our struggles each day.
Fears of the past shall not last if we faithfully stay.
Let Your passion consume us,
As to the truth we hold.
With our calling so sure,
victory secure, steadfast we press to the goal.
Keep the race before us;
Keep our hearts turned toward the prize
With patience and endurance,
The cross standing firm in our eyes.
Keep the race before us;
And reward us, Lord, by Your grace
With crowns of righteousness from the righteous Judge,
When we have finished the race.
Amen! Amen!
