This song really ministers to me. I believe Neal is describing the feeling that comes when you first accept Christ into your life and he's "calling all people" to come experience "the change". The "peace of mind" and feeling of "being in love like the very first time", to me, is the peace and love that can only be experienced through Christ Jesus. "Losing face so we can win the real race" is the laying aside of our lives in order spend an eternity of living in His presence in the end. The Apostle Paul often described the Christian Life as a race to be won. In 1Corinthians 9:24 he said
"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
