Lyrics
Strip it off, every weight, that slows you down.
Especially the sin that so easily trips you up.
My child, listen to me and do as I say and you will have a long good life.
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
I will teach you wisdoms ways and lead you on paths that are straight.
When you walk you wont be held back, when you run you wont stumble.
Look straight ahead, fix your eyes on what lies before you.
Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe street.
So run with endurance
Run the race that God has set before us.
We just gotta run with assurance
We can do it by keeping our eyes on Jesus!
Originator and the Perfecter of our faith.
Because of the joy awaiting him, endured the cross
Disregarding its shame...
So run with endurance
Run the race that God has set before us.
We just gotta run with assurance
We can do it by keeping our eyes on Jesus!
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside Gods throne.
HEBREWS 12: 1-2 (NLT)
