FINISH LINE 

written by Sonia Lee & Gracie Hollombe Vandiver

I WAS RUNNING FROM MY DEMONS

BUT NEVER DID SUCCEED IN

FINDING A WAY TO LEAVE THEM BEHIND

MY LIFE WAS LIKE A MARATHON

AND ALTHOUGH I KEPT HANGING ON

IT FELT LIKE I WAS DYING INSIDE

CHORUS:

UNTIL I CROSSED THE FINISH LINE

AND GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES

I COULDN’T SEE THE FREEDOM

WAITING THERE FOR ME

WHEN I PUT THE BOTTLE DOWN

I DIDN’T KNOW THE GIRL I’D FIND

ON THIS SIDE OF THE FINISH LINE

I FOUND AN INNER STRENTH IN ME

AND A LOVING GOD WHO’S COMFORTING

AND FRIENDS WHO UNDERSTAND WHERE I’D BEEN

I STOPPED RUNNING FROM MYSELF

AND I LEARNED HOW TO ASK FOR HELP

I HAD ONLY TO SURRENDER TO WIN

CHORUS:   (I DIDN’T KNOW THE PEACE I’D FIND)

BRIDGE:      NOW THAT I’M ON THIS PATH

I DON’T REGRET THE PAST

BUT I’M NEVER GOING BACK

CHORUS:  (I DIDN’T KNOW THE LIFE I’D FIND)

TAG:  I’M THROUGH RUNNING AND RUNNING,

I’M READY FOR PEACE OF MIND
