This song is written to inspire the runners and participants in the Twin Oaks 5K
[Verse]
Lay aside every weight now
Leave the heavy load behind
Keep our eyes on Jesus
Every step and every mile
We are moving with a purpose
We are running side by side
With the hope that keeps us going
And His strength to be our guide
[Chorus]
We’re running to win
We’re running with hope
Side by side, no one runs alone
For healing and freedom
New life can begin
Twin Oaks, we’re running
We’re running to win
[Verse]
For the ones who have been taken
For the ones who feel confined
For the hearts held by addiction
Searching for a way to life
We will stand here in the struggle
We will carry hope and light
Jesus still restores the broken
And He leads us through the night
[Chorus]
We’re running to win
We’re running with hope
Side by side, no one runs alone
For healing and freedom
New life can begin
Twin Oaks, we’re running
We’re running to win
[Bridge]
Every chain can lose its power
Every captive can be free
There is healing in the Savior
There is hope for you and me
We will stand up for the helpless
We will answer when they call
With the love of Christ before us
We will give this race our all
[Chorus]
We’re running to win
We’re running with hope
Side by side, no one runs alone
For healing and freedom
New life can begin
Twin Oaks, we’re running
We’re running to win
[Chorus]
We’re running to win
We’re running with hope
Side by side, no one runs alone
For healing and freedom
New life can begin
Twin Oaks, we’re running
We’re running to win
[Tag]
Hope for the hurting
Healing within
Lives being restored
We’re running to win
Hebrews 12:1–2 (ESV)
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."
