The Christian Race

Paul said to press on forward Towards the heavenly prize For if we run the Christian race We will come to realize That in spite of the prisons in our lives Keeping us in mental and physical chains With faith in God our course of action Will no longer be tethered not restrained We might need a spiritual upgrade To function at full capacity And every new day we need to freshly pray With a renewed tranquility Now some people say they don't have enough time But time is a tangible commodity We need to learn to structure our time Using our Christian agility It's most essential we put God first And always remember the grace And mercy that on us He's bestowed For no man nor woman on this earth Has the power to help you spiritually grow When running the Christian race We need to understand That if we want to make God laugh Just come up with a plan As God has a destiny for each of us One full of humility and grace And in spite of the circumstances in our lives He'll help us run this race By looking at the Lord and not at the load By keeping our eyes on God and not on the road So run the good race with encouragement From the Holy Spirit anew And with Jesus as the wind beneath our wings There's nothing we can't do So press on forward looking through The windshields of life No longer using the rearview mirror Just laser focused on Christ
