Ready for the Race

I'm gong to move away
from all I've taught myself
I want to run to You
and raise Your name anew.

You're all I have,
everything to me
how can this truly be
that You gave Your heart's
desire for me and every one
of Your most loved children.

We have been freed from
the world's burden,
unchained by ultimate sacrifice,
saved, redeemed,
beloved here I will follow.

I'm learning to live
because You died,
reaching up to love
because You cried,
lifting words of humility
to take away such pride.
