The Race
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’ve gotta hope that never fails me
I’ve gotta song that I’m gonna sing
Tempests turn and the winds are wailing
I’ve gotta race that must be run I’ve gotta race that must be run
I’ve gotta race that must be run I’ve gotta race that must be run
When the morning calls but the flesh is weak
The day is kind and warms you with the sun
All around is trials and troubles You gotta race that must be run
You gotta race that must be run You gotta race that must be run
You gotta race that must be run
With a callous hand and a past that’s weary
We carry on like the job is new
Even when the world might call us foolish
We gotta race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
My time is short but it makes a ripple
On the restless sea of time
May our footsteps be light and faithful
We gotta a race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race We gotta race We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race We gotta race We gotta race that must be run
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia, O
I’ve gotta hope that never fails me
I’ve gotta song that I’m gonna sing
When tempests turn and winds are wailing
We gotta a race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race We gotta race We gotta race That must be run
We gotta race We gotta race We gotta race That must be run
We gotta a race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
