John the Baptist said O friends
This was the day I was born for
I saw the lamb of God
He asked me to baptize him
John the Baptist said
My work on earth is done
Jesus must increase
And I must decrease
I have run my race
I have kept the faith
I have finished my course
Now he must increase
And I must decrease
This is what I live for
To say these words
Help me Lord!
I was called by the Lord
He gave meaning to my life
He took away the emptiness
He took away the uselessness
I’m glad I met the Lord woo!
He turned my life around
He really gave to me
A purpose for my life
I have run my race
I have kept the faith
I have finished my course
Now he must increase
And I must decrease
This is what I live for
To say these words
Help me Lord!
Today I’m running a good race
I need to be faithful to the end
So I can speak like John the Baptist
And run my race like Paul did
O How I wanna finish well
How I want to run my race
I’m following hard with all my heart
Help Me Jesus, Help me Lord!
I have run my race
I have kept the faith
I have finished my course
Now he must increase
And I must decrease
This is what I live for
To say these words
Help me Lord!
Interlude
I have run my race
I have kept the faith
I have finished my course
Now he must increase
And I must decrease
This is what I live for
To say these words oh yeah
I have run my race
I have kept the faith
I have finished my course
Now he must increase
And I must decrease
This is what I live for
I wanna say these words oh oh yeah
I have run my race
I have kept the faith
I have finished my course
Now he must increase
And I must decrease
This is what I live for
To say these words
I have run my race
I have kept the faith
Lord I have finished my course
Now he must increase
And I must decrease
This is what I live for
To say these words
Help me Lord (5x)
