I Will Run the Race

I will set my face to the rising sun
Of this blessed day, I will run.
 
With my Grace Armor on, I will take my place
And run like I’ve never run!
 
Although the prize is given not only to the quick,
But also to the lame, sad and the sick.
 
With God’s help, I can win this race,
With endurance filled with “His” grace.
 
With anticipation of the prize
Steadfast in my heart,
 
I will run with “Loves seed”, that was planted
At the start of the life that was given to me.
 
Yoked to Him, with peace and joy
That each morning brings,
 
I can face this day as I run and I sing
The praises meant for my King!
