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,
