THEME: The Christian life is a race. We are to run it, to finish, and to run in such a way as to win a prize. Such an attitude glorifies God.

I consider everything a loss compared to knowing you
The surpassing greatness of your love by faith I will pursue
All the things I hold in high esteem seem trivial and small
Up against the glories of your grace, the passion of your call
Now with singleness of heart and soul and mind
With a second wind I'll cross that finish line
Everything I used to call success will burn like wood and hay
Only work that's done for Christ will last, but there's a price to pay
There's a righteousness that comes from God - it's time to put it on
Throwing off the weight that holds me back to run this marathon
Now with singleness of heart and soul and mind
With a second wind I'll cross that finish line
Though my past would haunt me, with God's help, I'll leave it all behind
There's a sure reward reserved for me, in seeking I will find
Pressing on to keep up with the pace, but only time will tell
Knowing others ran this race before will help me finish well
Now with singleness of heart and soul and mind
With a second wind I'll cross that finish line
