6. Running for the Prize

Lyrics

Verse 1
The road behind is fading,
The crowd’s a distant sound.
I’ve stumbled, I’ve been waiting,
But I’m not turning around.
The One who called me forward
Has already made me His—
So I run through pain and silence
For the joy of what He gives.

Pre-Chorus
Not for glory, not for fame,
But to know the power of His name.

Chorus
I’m running for the prize,
Eyes fixed on the rising Son.
The crown of life is sure,
Because He said, “It’s done.”
No past can hold me down,
No shadow stops this run.

Verse 2
The wind cuts cold and heavy,
The miles stretch long and thin.
Yet I hear His heartbeat steady,
A victory born within.
He reached for me in mercy,
Now His Spirit fuels my stride.
Every step is grace in motion,
Every breath is crucified.

Bridge
I press on—
Through the night, through the fight, till I see His light.
I press on—
Till the day my faith becomes sight.

Final Chorus
I’m running for the prize…
The crown of life is sure,
Because He said, “It’s done.”

I’m running for the prize…
The crown of life is sure,
Because He said, “It’s done.”

I’m running for the prize…
The crown of life is sure,
Because He said, “It’s done.”

I’m running for the prize…
The crown of life is sure,
Because He said, “It’s done.”

I’m running for the prize…
The crown of life is sure,
Because He said, “It’s done.”

I’m running for the prize…
The crown of life is sure,
Because He said, “It’s done.”
