Race To Tomorrow
Racing toward tomorrow
Gonna box up all my sorrow
Can't wait to leave sorrow
Leave sorrow behind me
And git up stand up for what's right
And embrace my calling
I wannabe set free
For a soul set free is free indeed
I am free cause I speak it on me
Lord please believe in me
excuse me, I mean Lord you believe in me
And others see, I'm naturally I confess
I am blessed
Come loose these chains off me
Come embrace and carry me
To the land of glory racing toward tomorrow
For today I lose my sorrows
Come embrace and carry me
You've freed me from my bounds and chains
And help me to remain, free
To the land of glory
Faced all my quilts and shame
yet trying to remain
A head of me I see
The bright and glorious heavens cape
As I run this race, as I finish this pace
I'm in shape
To be placed in the land of glory, racing toward tomorrow
To out run my hurts and sorrows
Racing toward tomorrow
Gonna box up all my sorrow
Can't wait to leave sorrow
Leave sorrow behind me
And git up stand up for what's right
And embrace my calling
I wannabe set free
For a soul set free is free indeed
I am free cause I speak it on me
Lord please believe in me
excuse me, I mean Lord you believe in me
And others see, I'm naturally I confess
I am blessed
Come loose these chains off me
Come embrace and carry me
To the land of glory racing toward tomorrow
Race to tomorrow
