There’s a race for us to run—Hallelujah

There’s a race for us to run—Hallelujah

And a way for us the race to win.

To all those who have begun—Hallelujah

God has spoken

“Look away to Him!”

Look away! O look away!

Look to Jesus now today!

Look away from everything unto Jesus

Look away from everything to Him!

Look away from all around—Hallelujah

Look away from all the strife and din;

Look away where peace is found—Hallelujah

Look away from everything to Him.

Look away from fickle soul—Hallelujah

Look away from failing self within;

Look away toward the goal—Hallelujah

Look away from everything to Him.

Look away from all the past—Hallelujah

Look away from both the good and sin;

To the living One hold fast—Hallelujah

Look away from everything to Him.

Look away into His face—Hallelujah

He who’ll finish what He did begin.

O what grace to run the race—Hallelujah—

We obtain by looking off to Him!
