Verse 1 The music played, the crowds bowed low, Before a king and a statue of gold. But three men stood when all gave in, Their faith was worth more than the world could give. Verse 2 Life has a way of teaching our hearts, What really matters and what falls apart. The things we treasure fade with time, But Jesus is the treasure we’ll always find. Chorus I’m running for the finish line, Keeping my eyes on things divine. This world is just a passing mile, A morning mist, a little while. When my race is finally through, Lord, I’ll hear You call me home to You. No greater prize could ever be, Than standing face to face for eternity. Verse 3 Gold loses shine and kingdoms fall, The strongest empires don’t last at all. But every step of faith we take, Echoes forever for Heaven’s sake. Bridge When the fire comes, I’ll stand my ground, Knowing You’re the Fourth Man all around. You’ll never leave, You’ll never let go, You’re walking with me every road. Final Chorus I’m running for the finish line, Leaving earthly treasures far behind. This life is just the blink of an eye, But Heaven’s joy will never die. When I cross that final stream, You’ll be waiting just like I’ve dreamed. I’ll hear, “Well done, My child, come in,” And that’s where forever begins. Outro So until that day, I’ll run this race, Looking always toward Your face. The finish line is drawing near… And home is where You’ll dry every tear.
