Thanks so much. I was really trying to sing the words but couldn't remember. My 9yr old granddaughter is appreciative. We have another song to practice and sing together. GOD bless!

Actually, you need to turn the first line of verse 1 around. Instead of, "One day I started..." Say, "I started one day to follow Jesus

Race

1) One day I started to follow Jesus not caring for worldly gain. Though sometime it seems that I couldn't make it. My head hung down in shame. The world around offering it's glitter, trying to dim my view. I started out & I'm going to finish this race I have begun.

Chorus:

Though rough the road, though steep the climb, still I'm going right on. Though the rivers I cross they seem so deep till it seems all hope is gone. Though the clouds hang low, the thunder may roll still I'm pressing on. Because I started out & I'm going to finish this race I have begun.

2) And as it is written Surely I'll find the strength to carry on for just when I need it a friend to guide me. I felt his hand holding mine. No rivers too wide not a mountain too high. That I can't overcome. Because I started out & I'm going to finish this race I have begun.

I have heard this song for years, but I think the verses are wrong. Can someone give me the verses?
