[Intro] A right can be carried; a right can be laid down. The gospel must travel without a chain. [Verse 1] The soldier eats from the road he defends, the keeper tastes fruit where the vineyard bends, the ox is not muzzled while treading the grain, yet I will bear cost if the message gains way. [Refrain] Run that you may obtain, not for a wreath that withers in rain. Run with a purpose, strike at the true; an incorruptible crown is waiting for you. [Verse 2] Free from all, I became servant to all; near to the weak without making them small. To those under law, I walked where they stood; to those far outside, still under Christ's rule. [Bridge] All things for the gospel, not all things for pride. By every faithful road, let some come alive. I will not preach freedom and live without rein; I discipline flesh for the end of the race. [Refrain - final] Run that you may obtain. Let every footfall make purpose plain. Not with uncertain air in your view, an incorruptible crown is waiting for you. [Outro] The lane opens forward. Run true.
