One More Mile
Run the Extra Mile: Embracing Sacrifice for a Worthy Prize
Lyrics
Everybody's running a race.
Everybody is actively participating in a competitive race.
And everybody's nearing the finish line, but not everyone is getting a prize
While approaching the finish line, not everyone will be rewarded.
Everybody's wanting to win.
Everyone desires to succeed in the race.
And some are even hoping to gain a crown, but not many will pay the price
Some aspire to achieve greatness, symbolized by gaining a crown, but only a few are willing to pay the necessary price or make sacrifices.
So run (endure the pain, though you despise the shame).
Encouragement to endure hardships and challenges in the pursuit of the goal, even if it means enduring shame.
Focus on the goal (strive for the prize, though it is high).
Emphasizing the importance of focusing on the ultimate objective and striving for a high-level prize.
Give your heart and soul.
Advice to dedicate one's whole self, both emotionally and spiritually.
So run. One more mile
A repetition of the encouragement to persist and run an additional mile, suggesting continued effort.
Remember you are running a race. Remember you are nearing the finish line.
A reminder of the ongoing race and nearing the end, prompting reflection on the motivation for participation.
Are you running to win a prize?
Questioning the intention behind the race, asking if it is solely for the purpose of winning a reward.
When there is a burden to bear. And when the Lord would need you for a little while, Are you ready for the second mile?
Highlighting moments of challenge or responsibility and questioning readiness to go beyond the expected or required effort.
So run (endure the pain, though you despise the shame).
Reiteration of the call to endure pain and persevere, even in the face of potential shame.
Focus on the goal (strive for the prize, though it is high).
Reemphasizing the importance of keeping the final goal in mind and striving for a valuable prize.
Give your heart and soul.
Reiteration of the advice to invest one's emotions and spirituality fully.
So run. One more mile
A repetition of the encouragement to keep running, implying continuous dedication beyond the initial effort.
So run (endure the pain, though you despise the shame).
Reiteration of the call to endure pain and persevere, even in the face of potential shame.
Focus on the goal (strive for the prize, though it is high).
Reemphasizing the importance of keeping the final goal in mind and striving for a valuable prize.
Give your heart and soul.
Reiteration of the advice to invest one's emotions and spirituality fully.
So run. One more mile
A final repetition of the encouragement to persist and run an additional mile, reinforcing the idea of continuous effort.
