The Race

We face every day

While God leads the way

We tend to stumble

But experience keeps us humble

We gain strength

By talking with God at length

He reveals what’s in stone

He never leaves us alone

Faith turns us around

Keeps us on solid ground

We search for purpose

Until it rises to the surface

We rest at home

Where our souls can roam

We embrace the journey

Cause it’s meant for us only

We break into a smile

We laugh a little while

We feel God’s power

Hour after hour

We hang on the encouraging word

We’ve always heard

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We see what we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

God gives us a new name

God removes our shame

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We cherish every blessing granted

We water the seeds we planted

God fills our core

Before He offers us more

We see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

We fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

Faith removes all doubt

That things will work out

We learn to stand

While holding God’s hand

We reach our destiny

We see what’s meant to be

We see a safe and secure place

When we finish the race
