In Time

A milestone has been attained
A race has been won
Victory has been handed down

It was not easy
When it all began
So many contraries raved up
The days reduced their tempo
And ran as a snail would
The burden so heavy 
That the shoulder could not be lifted

Through it all 
The lord had been faithful
Though the race was highly contested
There was little strength to push on
Every device was used up
Just when it seemed the race was over
He stepped in

His salvation was right in time
It wouldn’t have been this way
The story would have changed
Save for his timeliness

Rejoice for he has sworn
Always to be with you
