1 Corinthians 9:24 - 27
Got to do the training,
got to make an effort;
don’t want to let my comrades down
so I’ll forward put my best foot.
Got to keep on keeping on,
yeah, got to persevere;
to climb over the obstacles
and overcome the fear.
This race it is for everyone,
no heats to qualify in,
no starter’s gun, so join right in;
and soon you will be flying
A race unique in character,
no contest with each other,
the Spirit joins us in a team
to run this race together.
There’s a goal been set before us,
a wreath that’s in the making,
a kingdom shaped by grace and love,
the prize there for the taking.
Justice, peace, these are the goals,
and loving is the process.
Getting all the loving right
will guarantee our success.
We can all be winners, yeah,
there’s no-one has to lose it;
the race itself is prize enough,
so get on board and choose it.
