DeGarmo & Key "The Pledge" Verses & Lyrics Day Nine

When is the Christian lifestyle like a marathon?

Right on Track

Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. (13) Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, (14) I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. (25) Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. (26) Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. (27) No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Philippians 2:14-18 Do everything without complaining or arguing, (15) so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe (16) as you hold out the word of life--in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. (17) But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. (18) So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. (2) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (3) Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Right on Track Lyrics

I can feel it tugging,
This world, it tries to slow me down,
In this race I'm running, I won't give up one inch of ground,
Headed for the future, I leave behind the past,
Walking with my saviour, I know...I know...I know I'm free at last.

Right on track,
Pressing forward, won't look back,
Right on track,
With my eyes on Jesus, I'm right on track.

I can see the finish,
I will not stop before it's done,
It's not enough to enter, I've got to cross that finish line, oh yeah,
Even though I stumble, the Lord will watch my pace,
Looking up to Jesus, I know...I know...I know I'll win this race.

Right on track,
Pressing forward, won't look back,
Right on track,
With my eyes on Jesus, I'm right on track.

Headed for the future, I leave behind the past,
Walking with my saviour, I know...I know...I know I'm free at last.

Right on track,
Pressing forward, won't look back,
Right on track,
With my eyes on Jesus,
Right on track,
I'm pressing forward, won't look back,
Right on track,
With my eyes on Jesus, I'm right on track.

I said, I'm right on track,
I'm right on track, (right on track)
Right on track, (right on track)
I'm right on track, (right on track)
I said I'm right on track, (right on track
(fade)
