Winning Along Life's Race

In facing various challenges along life’s race* With every struggle marked by sin-caused misery My faith seeks God to strengthen my salvation-zeal So I can stand upon His grace that’s triumphant. While battling against numerous adversaries Along worldliness of materialism-enticement My spirit needs the Lord’s sanctification-purge So I can flee from temptation’s perilous darts. Conquering various facets of difficulties And sorrowing due to atrocities’ despair My heart hides in the Saviour’s protective fortress So I can overcome for service victory. Pursuing good success to exalt Christ’s great name Through faithful stewardship midst discipleship-bliss My commitment is blessed by His empowerment So I can live for Him with the Holy Ghost’s might. *Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
