For Running The Race

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