For You have set my feet this race to run,
And placed my prize before the setting sun
I want to say I will not turn back
O God of Israel whose love endures,
You exalt the humble heart and lift the poor.
I want to say I will not turn back
For my Lord He slumbers not, neither does He sleep
I have put my trust in Him, He will guard my feet.
And if You take me to the wilderness
And if the desert is my dwelling place
I want to say I will not turn back
Or if I stumble and my strength is low
Them my deliverer restores my soul
I want to say I will not turn back.
