99 1/2 (Studio Version)

Lord I'm running, trying to make a hundred

Ninety-nine and a half won't do

Lord I'm running, trying to make a hundred

Ninety-nine and a half won't do, just won't do

Oh I gladly started on the race the day I met the Lord

I promised Him my all and He made heaven my reward

Oh He has been so faithful to give strength for every day

Now I've come so far and I intend to make it all the way

Lord I'm running, (Lord I'm running) trying to make a hundred (trying to make a hundred)

Ninety-nine and a half won't do

Lord I'm running, (Lord I'm running) trying to make a hundred (trying to make a hundred)

Ninety-nine and a half won't do, just won't do

Well I won't get discouraged if I stumble or fall down

God will pick me up and put my feet back on the ground

See He's been known to leave the fold to claim one of His own

But I wanna stay so close to Him, so I keep traveling on

Lord I'm running, (Lord I'm running) trying to make a hundred (trying to make a hundred)

Ninety-nine and a half won't do

Lord I'm running, (Lord I'm running) trying to make a hundred (trying to make a hundred)

Ninety-nine and a half won't do, just won't do

Heaven happens at the top (5, 10)

And the bottom (15, 20)

The bottom won't bother (25, 30)

Lord at the start (35, 40)

So far from the line (45, 50)

Lord, halfway (55, 60)

Oh make it great (65, 70)

Oh but you're moving (75, 80)

Slowly improving (85, 90)

Let me tell you 91 (won't do)

92 (won't do)

93 (won't do)

94 (won't do)

95 (won't do)

96 (won't do)

97 (won't do)

98 (won't do)

99 (99) and a half, won't do

Just won't do

Lord I'm running, trying to make a hundred

Ninety-nine and a half won't do

Lord I'm running, trying to make a hundred

Ninety-nine and a half won't do, just won't do
