ARE you in the arena
Are you giving your all?
Are your eyes fixed on Jesus?
Have you answered His call?
Are you headed for heaven?
Are you running to win?
Have you laid aside weights?
And your besetting sin?
I have fought a good fight.
I’ve finished my race.
I have hung on to faith and I shall see His face.
I look for His coming,
Though all turn away.
My eyes are toward Jesus, toward Jesus today.

The world e’er is calling
The sirens do cry,
Entanglements threaten
To obscure the eye.
But a highway’s been carved
Through this wilderness wild.
It’s a safe road of travel
For God’s trusting child.
3
Yes, God wants a soldier
May no soft way enchain
To prevent you from rising
When He calleth your name.
To go forth in His service
Though with suffering and pain,
Nothing’s too dear for Jesus
Who for me once was slain.
4
Now singing’s for victors
So sing out we must
For our Jesus has triumphed
In Him do we trust.
He’s marked out our course,
O’er our lives His cross reigns,
To win all we must lose all,
Faith, the victory obtains.
