Life's Race
Life's Race
Written: by Tom Wright
9/8/98
Life, isn't like a relay,
With participants off and on,
Nor is it like a sprint or dash,
But more of a marathon;
Many start a race for Christ,
But too soon tire and rest.
While others,
Spiritually out of shape,
Will not put forth their best;
In giving man His chosen,
God accepts from man no less.
For salvation is a know so thing,
Not feelings or a guess.
We must daily run, not tire or quit,
When encountering one more hurdle.
Life isn't start, sprint, and fade,
But in finishing, Like the Turtle.
