The lyrics as the choir performed them are as follows:
I’m running for my life
I’m running for my life
I'm running for my life
I’m running for my life
If anybody asks you what’s the matter with me,
Tell them I’m saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost-filled by my side
I got Jesus on my side and I’m running for my life
I’m praying for my life
I’m praying for my life
I’m praying for my life
I’m praying for my life
If anybody asks you what’s the matter with me
Tell them I’m saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost-filled by my side (different vocal parts)
I got Jesus on my side and I’m running for my life
Yeah
Scripture references:
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” (Hebrews 12:1-3)
"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed..." (II Corinthians 4: 8, 9 ).
"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, whose thoughts are fixed on You!" (Isaiah 26:3 ).
