If anybody asks you (anybody asks you… what’s the matter with me?)
Tell ‘em I’m saved! Sanctified! And I’m running for my life!
(Repeat)

[lead]
I’ve been running this race for a mighty long time!
I’m not tired yet!!!
A few more roads to cross and I know…
My soul will be at rest!!!

I’ve been pressing my way! Each and every day!
Ninety-nine and a half won’t do!
Trying to make a hundred! And I know…
The Lord will see me through!!!
