Who Gets to Win?

(1 John 1:8-10, 4:19, 5:4-5; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, 15:54-57; Romans 5:8, 8:37; John 6:44; 2 Timothy 1:9; Revelation 3:20; Job 16:19-21; Psalm 44:3-7, 60:12, 108:13, 118:15, 149:4)

It seemed like a quest for faith, but it was God alone
Yeah, He first loved me — He worked to clean up my life
Piercin' the darkness with a ray of hope, leading homeward
And this seeker that He spared was a mountain that He moved
Called like a child star out of his role
Till there was nowhere else to turn and nothing left to lose
And I remember how Jesus came to me
At the door, then, He'd get His foot in
I remember how He helped me all those times
Which I didn't know 'bout, 'cause I didn't know Him

Who gets to win?
It's the one that He gets within
I was young, headstrong, before learnin' who gets to win

Yet I feared my sordid past
And I finally sought the Lord
Astounded my Savior was also my Friend
I found myself fervently turning from my old way of life
I guess I lost some days, but I won so many more
I was livin' to learn and learnin' to live
Yeah, the Word of God's plain to read, and that much I know
Romans 8, I was in it for much of the time
Diggin’ Paul and the truths that he sent
I began to find myself churches
Searchin' for healthier events to attend

Who gets to win?
Learned it from the New Testament
I found myself seeking help in my quest with Him

Well, those Scriptures stayed; I'm passin' 'em down
I've got so much more to sing about
Yes, Christ made the difference
Watchin' me then — watchin' me now

Who gets to win?
I'm still one who repents of sin
Not holier than thou — just someone who's been blessed through Him
Well, I'm bold, not proud, just somebody
Who gets to win
Who gets to win
Who gets to win
I'm still learnin' (Who gets to win?)
I'm still runnin' the race to win
(Who gets to win?) I'm still learnin'
(Who gets to win?) I'm still runnin' the race to win
(Who gets to win?) Still learin'
(Who gets to win?) Runnin' the race to win, runnin' in step with Him
(Who gets to win?) See the young man learn
(Who gets to win?) Watch the young man run
(Who gets to win?) Watch the young man learnin'
(Who gets to win?) He'll be runnin' the race to win
(Who gets to win?) First John 5:4 and 5
(Who gets to win?) Ahhhhh
(Who gets to win?) First Corinthians 9
(Who gets to win?) There's some runnin' that's at the end
(Who gets to win?) Who gets to win?
(Who gets to win?) Righteous but just through Him
(Who gets to win?)
(Who gets to win?) Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

1 John 5:4-5
for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
