When you come near the end of your life on this earth
When you’ve reached the last mile of the way
When you find yourself near your journey’s crossing
Hear the voice of the Spirit say…
Finish well, Saint of God, for your race is almost over
Finish well, Saint of God, for your course is nearly done
There are those whose hearts you’ve strengthened who still look to see My Spirit.
There are those who are watching for endurance as you run.
From glory to glory, each step I shall lead you.
My grace is sufficient each hour of the day.
Though the body has weakened, there is power for your spirit
And grace to endure the last mile of the way.
Finish well, Saint of God, for your race is almost over
Finish well, Saint of God, for your course is nearly done.
There are those whose hearts you’ve strengthened who still look to see My Spirit.
There are those who are watching for endurance as you run.
Lift your eyes to Your Father in heavenly places
He cherished the hours you spent at His throne.
Think back on the touches of His love you’ve experienced
For the Father’s embrace will welcome you home.
Finish well, Saint of God, for your race is almost over
Finish well, Saint of God, for your course is nearly done.
There are those whose hearts you’ve strengthened who still look to see My Spirit.
There are those who are watching for endurance as you run.
