New Songs from ‘The Best of Don Sanders’
RUN THE RACE FOR JESUS
1. Run the race for Jesus,
Be bold and be strong;
Run the race for Jesus,
This life will not be long.
Run the race for Jesus,
A heavenly prize awaits;
Run the race for Jesus,
And enter heaven’s gates.
2. This life is like a Sprint,
So keep your eyes upon the goal -
Jesus is the reason, and
His death has saved your soul;
Live each day for Jesus,
Your Friend and your Guide,
Live your life for Jesus,
The light you must not hide.
3. This life is like a Course
That is filled with Obstacles -
The devil tries to hinder us
With ambush and with hurdles.
So put on the heavenly armour
Every day and carry on;
Live each day for Jesus -
The battle has been won.
4. This life is like a Marathon so,
Just be brave and strong;
Fight ‘til you are tired, then
Sit down and rest awhile.
Live your life for Jesus, with the
Holy Ghost inside;
Run the race with patience, and
Receive the heavenly prize.
5. This life is like a Relay Race -
We’re in it for awhile;
So be a blessing where you are,
And serve Him with a smile.
There’s a time and there’s a season,
There’s a planting and a reaping;
Just pick up the torch, then pass it on -
And leave the rest to God!
6. So live your life for Jesus -
Be bold and sing a song;
The battle may be fierce,
And the foe is often strong.
But remember this my brother,
That God is on your side -
Just keep on trusting Jesus ‘cause -
You are the Heavenly Bride !!!
This song was inspired one Sunday afternoon while I was watching Christian t.v. - from a message by a visiting pastor at ‘People’s Church’ in Toronto.
I took notes as I watched the t.v., and I knew right away that the message would make a good song.
Verse 5 was inspired a few days later, due to a situation I was involved in at a Men’s group.
