Lyrics
Jeff Bourque
[Key: D]
Verse 1
May we run this race,
May we keep the faith,
May our eyes be fixed
On Jesus
That we'll not lose heart
In our struggle with sin
And through suffering
Know endurance.
Verse 2
May we arm ourselves
With the mind of Christ,
To rejoice in trials
And be not surprised.
May our hearts be so
Consumed by You
That we never
Cease to praise!
Verse 3
May our company be
The saints You've called
May we all stand
Firm in One Spirit,
That the gospel's truth
May resound on earth
That all living things
May hear it
Verse 4
May the fruits of faith
Mark the path we trod
Through the life of Christ
To the glory of God.
May our hearts be so
Consumed by You
That we never
Cease to praise!
Verse 5
May the words we share
Be Your grace and peace
May our tongues speak
Your proclamations,
That the many parts
Of the Body of Christ
Be affirmed in their
Right relation.
Verse 6
As we long and wait
For our Groom to come
May we learn to love
And spur each other on.
May our hearts be so
Consumed by You
That we never
Cease to praise!
Verse 7
When that day arrives,
And the race is won,
When our griefs give way
To deliverance.
We will fully know
As we're fully known,
All our groans will end
As new songs begin.
Verse 8
And a multitude from
Every tribe and tongue,
Wearing robes of white
Will stand before
Your throne
And our hearts will be so
Consumed by You
That we'll never
Cease to praise!
May our hearts be so
Consumed by You
That we never
Cease to praise!
