We Will Run
Endurance and Faith: Running the Unseen Race with Matt Crosson's 'We Will Run'
Lyrics
By faith Your people walked through a sea
Through faith, your people overcame obstacles symbolized by a sea.
By faith three men defied a king
By faith, three individuals resisted the authority of a king.
By faith we have strength to live the unseen
Through faith, we gain strength to navigate the challenges that are not immediately apparent.
Let us throw off everything
Encouragement to discard anything hindering progress.
Let us run with perseverance, the race marked out for us
Encouragement to persevere in the life journey set before us.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, who started faith in us
Directing attention to Jesus, the initiator of faith in us.
For the joy set before Him, He endured on that cross
Referring to Jesus enduring the cross for the joy ahead.
So we will not grow weary or lose heart
A pledge not to lose motivation or courage.
We will run
Declaration of the intent to run the race of life with faith.
We will run
Reiteration of the commitment to run the race.
By faith a woman hung a scarlet cord
By faith, a woman used a scarlet cord, possibly symbolizing redemption.
By faith an army won without a sword
By faith, an army achieved victory without conventional weapons.
By faith we have strength to live the unseen
Reiteration of strength through unseen aspects of faith.
Let us throw off everything
Reemphasizing the need to discard impediments.
Let us run with perseverance, the race marked out for us
Encouragement to persist in the race marked for each individual.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, who started faith in us
Reiterating the importance of focusing on Jesus, the source of faith.
For the joy set before Him, He endured on that cross
Recalling Jesus' endurance on the cross for future joy.
So we will not grow weary or lose heart
Reaffirmation not to lose strength or courage.
We will run
Commitment to continue running the race.
We will run
Repeated commitment to persist in the journey of life.
We will run
Further repetitions of the commitment to keep running.
