A cloud of witnesses surround.
From heaven they look down.
They marvel at the grace of God
In those where Christ is found.
Because of faith they live.
The race they run with joy.
Ensnaring sins are set aside.
God’s help they do employ.
They want to please their Lord.
He endured the cross for them.
God has been so very kind.
Their Savior sits with Him.
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV
