1. There's a race for us to run��Hallelujah,
  And a way for us to race to win.
  To all those who have begun��Hallelujah,
  God has spoken, "Look away to Him!"
(Chorus:)
  Look away! O look away!
  Look to Jesus now today!
  Look away from everything unto Jesus,
  Look away from everything to Him!
2. Look away from all around��Hallelujah,
  Look away from all the strife and din;
  Look away where peace is found��Hallelujah,
  Look away from everything to Him.
3. Look away from fickle soul��Hallelujah,
  Look away from failing self within;
  Look away toward the goal��Hallelujah,
  Look away from everything to Him.
(Chorus:)
  Look away! O look away!
  Look to Jesus now today!
  Look away from everything unto Jesus,
  Look away from everything to Him!
4. Look away from all the past��Hallelujah,
  Look away from both the good and sin;
  To the living One hold fast��Hallelujah,
  Look away from everything to Him.
5. Look away into His face��Hallelujah,
  He who'll finish what He did begin.
  O what grace to run the race��Hallelujah��
  We obtain by looking off to Him!
(Chorus:)
  Look away! O look away!
  Look to Jesus now today!
  Look away from everything unto Jesus,
  Look away from everything to Him!
