Reflections:
Life is like a race. This song creeps into my mind whenever I get into the running mood, which is frequent nowadays. It talks how living faithfully can leave a lasting legacy to future generations. May the children of tomorrow and those who follow the same path will find the light and live in the same inspiration as those of us who are living it today.
This song holds a special place in my heart. My sisters and I used to perform this song in trio so many times. Not only does it bring back those happy memories but I treasure the message of this song and want to live it everyday.
Music:
Lyrics:
We’re pilgrims on the journey
Of the narrow road
And those who’ve gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God’s sustaining grace
Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who’ve gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives
CHORUS:
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we’ve left behind
May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
Keep singing,
