A RACE WELL RUN | Christian Rock Tribute to Eric Liddell | Lyrics | Symphonic

Welcome to the official lyric music video "A Race Well Run." This Christian song gives you a chance to experience the inspiring journey of Eric Liddell (1902 - 1945) "the Flying Scotsman." From his Olympic victory to his missionary work in China, this Christian rock song (with some symphonic metal and hard rock influence) is a tribute to Liddell's remarkable legacy.

Song lyrics:

From the misty highlands, under Scotland's sky,
A hero was born, with a fire in his eye.
Racing with the wind, he captured every heart,
An Olympic dream, a champion from the start.

But the race was not just on the track,
He ran for a crown that never cracks.

Eric Liddell, the Flying Scotsman's flame,
In the fields of glory, beyond mere fame.
For higher than gold, his sights were set,
His witness to light, may our hearts never forget.

In the heart of China, amid war's cruel game,
He served with love, a light that never wanes.
Teaching, preaching, giving all he had,
A beacon of hope, in times both good and bad.

No chains of war could bind his soul,
For higher calling was his goal.

The Flying Scotsman could set the tracks ablaze,
But higher fields of glory he chose in their place.
For higher than gold, his sights were set,
A hero's tale, in history, firmly kept.

Underneath the shadow of captivity,
He shone with courage and humility.
Sports and faith were his tools,
With his kindness breaking rigid rules.

In a race for hearts, he drew near,
His legacy of love outlasting fear.
Still an example to us, living righteously,
A race well run, for eternity.

Eric Liddell, with wings on his heels,
This champion's heart to the Lord would kneel,
From the tracks to the fields of grace,
He ran with love, and won his race.

In the echoes of the starting g un,
Remember the man whose race was won.
Flying Scotsman, resting in heavenly grace,
Liddell's legacy, time cannot erase.
