Hymn: There’s a race for us to run

There’s a race for us to run—Hallelujah,
And a way for us the race to win.
To all those who have begun—Hallelujah,
God has spoken, “Look away to Him!”

Look away! O look away!
Look to Jesus now today!
Look away from everything unto Jesus,
Look away from everything to Him!

Look away from all around—Hallelujah,
Look away from all the strife and din;
Look away where peace is found—Hallelujah,
Look away from everything to Him.

Look away from fickle soul—Hallelujah,
Look away from failing self within;
Look away toward the goal—Hallelujah,
Look away from everything to Him.

Look away from all the past—Hallelujah,
Look away from both the good and sin;
To the living One hold fast—Hallelujah,
Look away from everything to Him.

Look away into His face—Hallelujah,
He who’ll finish what He did begin.
O what grace to run the race—Hallelujah—
We obtain by looking off to Him!

The best solution to all our problems and situations is just to look away to Him! This hymn was such a help to me in realizing that nothing else matters and that we should just be those who run the race set before us with endurance. The Lord will finish what he did begin! Let us all be those who finish the race! Praise the Lord!

Verse 5 is a real key. We can look away from everything to Him. But as soon as we say that, we realize how bad we need His grace to even look away to Him.

Praise the Lord!

We need to learn to look away from all the things in our environment, look away from our failures in the past, and look away even from our good experiences, so that we may freshly run the race with endurance and gain more Christ! Hallelujah!
