I’ve gotta hope that never fails me
I’ve gotta song that I’m gonna sing
Tempests turn and the winds are wailing
I’ve gotta race that must be run I’ve gotta race that must be run
I’ve gotta race that must be run I’ve gotta race that must be run

When the morning calls but the flesh is weak
The day is kind and warms you with the sun
All around is trials and troubles You gotta race that must be run
You gotta race that must be run You gotta race that must be run
You gotta race that must be run

With a callous hand and a past that’s weary
We carry on like the job is new
Even when the world might call us foolish
We gotta race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race that must be run We gotta race that must be run

My time is short but it makes a ripple
On the restless sea of time
May our footsteps be light and faithful
We gotta a race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race that must be run We gotta race that must be run

We gotta race We gotta race We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race We gotta race We gotta race that must be run
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia, O

I’ve gotta hope that never fails me
I’ve gotta song that I’m gonna sing
When tempests turn and winds are wailing
We gotta a race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race that must be run We gotta race that must be run

We gotta race We gotta race We gotta race That must be run
We gotta race We gotta race We gotta race That must be run

We gotta a race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
We gotta race that must be run We gotta race that must be run
