A Pilgrim's Progress
Matt Papa
[Intro]
C Em F
[Verse 1]
C G
Lord I’m tired
F C
So tired from travellin’
F Am G F
This straight and narrow is so much harder than I thought
C G
On this path
F C
I’ve met both doubt and pain
F Am G F
I’ve heard their voices say, ‘yeah you’ve given all you’ve got’
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
There’s a cloud of witnesses
F C F
The ones who’ve run this race
G Am
And even louder than my fears
F Am F (G)
They’re crying while you lift your face
[Chorus]
C G (Em)
Keep runnin’, keep runnin’
F C G
Don’t lose heart, don’t you give up now
Am F
Don’t turn around you’ve got to find a way somehow
C G (Em)
Keep reaching, keep fighting
F C G
The pain cannot compare to the reward
Am F
That will be yours, that waits in store
C (Em G) F
For those who just keep runnin’
[Verse 2]
C G
You’re on this road
F C
This fight for holiness
F Am
I’ve struggled and I’ve bled
G F
Through these dangers, thorns and snares
C G
And I have foes
F C
Their siren voices call
F Am G F
Saying, ‘boy you’re bound to fall with that heavy cross you bear’
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am F (C F)
But I remember there was One who died to win this race
G Am F Am F G
He took the cross, He crushed the grave and oh I can hear my Saviour say
[Chorus]
C G (Em)
Keep runnin’, keep runnin’
F C G
Don’t lose heart, don’t you give up now
Am F
Don’t turn around you’ve got to find a way somehow
C G (Em)
Keep reaching, keep fighting
F C G
The pain cannot compare to the reward
Am F
That will be yours, that waits in store
C
For those who just keep runnin’
[Bridge]
Dm C
Don’t turn aside
Am G
No compromise
Dm C G
Just lift your eyes to the glory that’s coming
[Verse 3]
C G
If you’re like me
F C
You feel like you can’t go on
F Am G F
You’ll never see the dawn and you’re just about to break
C G
Don’t stop now
F C F Am
Know that every sacrifice, it’ll all be worth the price
G F
When you finally see His face
[Chorus]
C G (Em)
Just keep runnin’, keep runnin’
F C G
Don’t lose heart, don’t you give up now
Am F
Don’t turn around you’ve got to find a way somehow
C G (Em)
Dig deeper, run harder
F C G
The pain cannot compare to the reward
Am F
That will be yours, that waits in store
(Dm)
For those who just keep …
[Outro]
G Am F
So take my hand because we can’t do this alone
G Am
Til you hear ‘well done’
F
Til your race is complete
F C
Find a way to just keep running
G
Keep dreaming
Am
Keep daring
(F G)
Believing
C
Keep working
G
Keep waiting
Am
Keep serving
(F G)
Keep praying
C
Keep moving
G
Keep trying
Am
Keep hoping
(F G)
Keep fighting
C
Keep going

He’s waiting
Am
Arms open
(F G)
It’s coming
C
Just keep running
