The Prize

A child of God
In the heat of it all
Staggering under the weight of the call
Eyes upon the only One who knows
The forerunner of my faith
Who for joy set the pace
Understands the war against my soul
He says move on
You gotta let it go
What's done is done
You're on a brave new road
Chorus:
So, I'm taking this
Taking this mighty load
And I'm leaving it behind
I'm gonna make it on
Make it on down the road
Reaching for the prize
For the prize
Every time I shed my skin
I find the courage once again
To aganize the agony of faith
Breathe in me the will to try
In my body magnify
To know that you have suffered not in vain
He says to hold on
You gotta let it show
You know what's yours
Down this brave new road
Repeat Chorus
It heals a piece of my soul
When I shed my skin
And I leave it behind
And start over again
Shaking this mighty load
Oh, I've been staggering under
The heat of the call
But I get up and I move on after I fall
Making it down the road
He says move on
You gotta let it go
You know what's yours
Down this brave new road
Repeat Chorus 2X
Keep reaching
Keep reaching
Reaching
Reaching for the prize
