[Intro]
E  D  E  A  D  A
 
[Verse 1]
               D  A                D        A
If I carry the gospel. To the lost near and far.
        E                                     A
I won't stand empty handed, at God's judgment bar.
           D     A               D             A
But I dare not relax, until I've done all he's asked.
              E     D          E          A
Lest I should leave behind. An unfinished task.

[Chorus]
   A/Db     D                   E              D        A
Oh you have run, you’ve run the race, you have kept the faith.
              D       A               E
These words I long to hear the savior say.
            A       D        A
And when my life on earth is past,
                 D                 A
There's just one thing dear Lord I ask,
             E     D           E          A         D  A
Don't let me leave behind.  An unfinished task.
 
[Verse 2]
          A          D  A                   D       A
If I have wronged my brother. If I have wounded a friend.
        E                                  A
Give me courage, precious Lord.  To make amends.
                    D        A                D        A
And when I come to change my world, and reach glory at last.
             E     D          E          A
Then I won’t leave behind. An unfinished task.
 
A/Db  Eb  F
 
[Verse 3]
       Bb          Eb   Bb              Eb    Bb
When I come to the crossing I'll be leaving behind.
       F                                    Bb
All my earthly possessions and this I won't mind.
             Eb       Bb          Eb             Bb
It will make my heart glad when I leave all I've had
           F     Eb          F          Bb
If I don't leave behind.  An unfinished task.

[Chorus]
   Bb/F     Eb                  F              Eb       Bb
Oh you have run, you've run the race, you have kept the faith.
              Eb      Bb              E
These words I long to hear the savior say.
            Bb      Eb       Bb
And when my life on earth is past,
                 Eb                Bb
There's just one thing dear Lord I ask,
             F     Eb          F          Bb    Eb  Bb
Don't let me leave behind.  An unfinished task.
