Marathon

Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly
 I do not fight like a boxer beating the air
 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave
 So that after I have preached to others
 I myself will not be disqualified for the price
 I've been tryna do right, but I keep doin' wrong
 If you wanna win this fight, keep your armor on
 Tryna be like Christ and this is what I'm on
 If you want eternal life man, just hold on
 And this is not a street, yeah, this a marathon
 And God is always there, you got someone to lean on
 The Holy Spirit with me, got me feelin' too strong
 The Holy Spirit with me, got me feelin' too strong
 But let me tell you something, hold up
 I was just a smoker, but now I'm sober
 My sin was gettin' worse as I got older
 My heart was cold, it was gettin' colder
 So deep in my sin, thought it was over
 You can't say this ain't real, cause you seen the old us
 Ever since I met Jesus, I got closer
 Ever since I met Jesus, I got closer
 The devil want us strong, but he can't hold us
 He always on my back, shake him off my shoulders
 Jesus tell me real soon, yeah, he's gettin' closer
 Got a new identity, now I'm a soldier
 And I know that God is gonn' make a way
 For all of my family to be saved
 And I know that God is gonn' make a way
 For all of my family to be saved
 I've been tryna do right, but I keep doin' wrong
 If you wanna win this fight, keep your armor on
 Tryna be like Christ and this is what I'm on
 If you want eternal life man, just hold on
 And this is not a street, yeah, this a marathon
 And God is always there, you got someone to lean on
 The Holy Spirit with me, got me feelin' too strong
 The Holy Spirit with me, got me feelin' too strong
 Who would've ever thought I'd be like this
 Tell me, who knew?
 Livin' life for the kingdom, spredin' good news
 And he changed my life, but this ain't nothin' new
 I ain't gotta lie, yeah, Jesus is the truth
 It ain't 'bout what you do, it's 'bout what he did
 Now he went on that cross, so we could be with him
 You ain't never seen a love, better than this
 Runnin' to his presence, feelin' like a little kid
 I've been tryna do right, but I keep doin' wrong
 If you wanna win this fight, keep your armor on
 Tryna be like Christ and this is what I'm on
 If you want eternal life man, just hold on
 And this is not a street, yeah, this a marathon
 And God is always there, you got someone to lean on
 The Holy Spirit with me, got me feelin' too strong
 The Holy Spirit with me, got me feelin' too strong
