Chorus: It Will Be Worth It All
It Will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life's trials will seem so small
When we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face,
all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race,
Till we see Christ. [See note below]
Jesus, the One who began our faith.
Hebrews 12:1-3 New Century Version
We have around us many people whose lives tell us what faith means. So let us run the race that is before us and never give up. We should remove from our lives anything that would get in the way and the sin that is so easily holds us back. Let us look only to Jesus, the One who began our faith and who makes it perfect. He suffered death on the cross. But He accepted the shame as if it were nothing because of the joy that God put before Him. And now He is sitting at the right side of God's throne. Think about Jesus' example. He held on while wicked people were doing evil things to Him. So do not get tired and stop trying.
Hebrews 12:1b and 2 Amplified Bible
...let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher, [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Dorothy: The KJV quoted "... let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith..." [Heb.12:1b,2a]. This verses matched the chorus, "It will be worth it all when we see Jesus." It is a great encouragement to Tony and me that God has a work for us to do. We live by faith day by day especially when we became older and it takes more faith to trust God. I pray this will inspire you to continue to live for Jesus who gave us faith to begin with.
The chorus, "It will be worth it all" is from the book called, Inspiring Choruses, containing selected choruses and songs not found in the Crowning Glory Hymnal. Compiled by Rev. Lee Peters; Assembled by Christ Ambassador, Youth Department.
