PASSING THE BATON

When passing the Baton, the Baton in this life
Did I hold it too loose? Did I hold it too tight?
Did I show you just how, To give it to others?
To pass it real smoothly, so that you can discover.

Did I teach you to run with joy in your heart?
To cherish his word..to never depart?
Did you learn how to smile through the deep dark struggles?
Of running the race not for yourself but for others?

The others that watch but don’t understand
Who need to take Jesus as Saviour and friend
They see you stuggle, the hurt and the pain
They see you turn to Jesus, and Worship His Name.

This is the baton I want to pass on.
So that others see Jesus and they will grow strong
They’ll take the baton and give it to others
and pass it along from sister to brother

Passing, still passing as the years go on.
Not ever forgetting the race that Christ ran
So set before you, the wonderful prize
the mark, the high calling of the Lord Jesus Christ

We will stand before Christ some wonderful day,
Saying, Satan was defeated. when you rose from that grave.
Living Victorious so others could see..
I’ve brought my friends and family with me

And now we will bow and fall on our knees,
casting our prize and crowns at your feet
The one that deserves all praise that is due.
Heaven and Earth STOPS,
JUST TO WORSHIP YOU.
