DARE TO RUN
FAITH FOR LIFE’S RACE
Song: 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 Outstretched 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! [2]
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!
