Wahh, wanted to show my full range
Say oh death, where is your sting
No way you can defeat the Lord of glory
Everyone that's born of the blood
Put your faith in Christ, that's how we overcome
Run the race, run the race, run the race, yeah
Lift the name above every other name, Jesus
Run the race, run the race, run the race, yeah
Lift the name above every other name, Jesus
Time to hit the front line, what you doing still in the huddle
Harvest is ripe, time is right, the opposition moves subtle
But the church got new chairs, boy don't get comfortable
While you run this race of faith, beware the schemes to make you fumble
Sin had me stuck like a stationary cycle
Cuz I went for the cake and ate all the icing
Thought I was untouchable 'til temptation enticed me
Redefined like a boss that resigned you can take every title, huh
Death, where is your sting? I'm being refined by the flames of the fire
Yes, I'm talkin 'bout the fire in the cloud from the pages of the Bible
Jesus set me free now it's time to make some disciples
Tell the church don't be afraid of revival
Transformation is vital even when it ain't exciting
I keep pressing on, no off season it's game time
Say oh death, where is your sting
No way you can defeat the Lord of glory
Everyone that's born of the blood
Put your faith in Christ, that's how we overcome
Run the race, run the race, run the race, yeah
Lift the name above every other name, Jesus
Run the race, run the race, run the race, yeah
Lift the name above every other name, Jesus
Running lightweight we can move in minimal time
Powered by Christ's grace now we can cross the finish line
Treat it like a marathon, this is not a sprint
Through trials we carry on, this is not a hint
Take the word at face value
How much of your faith do you value?
Precious jewels purify in the furnace
And you will never grow unless you build up endurance
Your enemy creeps in subtly
The world will call you young & free
They tell you live fast & furious
When you live for God, asking why so serious
Don't get seduced boy for the juice boy
Trade in those high miles you can find true joy
When you begin to grow weary, consider our example
Through Christ be the strength to fight every battle
Say oh death, where is your sting
No way you can defeat the Lord of glory
Everyone that's born of the blood
Put your faith in Christ, that's how we overcome
Run the race, run the race, run the race, yeah
Lift the name above every other name, Jesus
Run the race, run the race, run the race, yeah
Lift the name above every other name, Jesus
Say oh death, where is your sting
No way you can defeat the Lord of glory
Everyone that's born of the blood
Put your faith in Christ, that's how we overcome
Run the race, run the race, run the race, yeah
Lift the name above every other name, Jesus
Run the race, run the race, run the race, yeah
Lift the name above every other name, Jesus
