‘ The Race For Life (Heb.12: 1) … ’ Poem by MoonBee Canady

We Came Up Out The Water
Our Feet Were Barely Dry
As We Started Running
In The Race For Life

Bodily Trained For Endurance
Minds Learned Rules Of The Track
Hearts Believed We’d Become
Spiritually Athletic

We’re Headed For The End
We’re Keeping Steady Pace
We Can Make It Over Hurdles
By Power Of GOD’s Grace

This Isn’t Just A Sprint
We Know It May Seem Long
If We Fall Asleep In Relay
When We Wake, We’ll Be Home

This Isn’t Just A Dash
It’s A Mighty Marathon
But We’re Determined To Make It
… To Kingdom Come

We’re Heading On To Victory
Going Towards Jehovah’s Day
Christ Kissed Each Runner’s Forehead
To Start Us On The Way …

Torch Held High In One Hand
Keeping Eyes On The Prize
Faith Lifting Each Footfall
… Onward To Paradise

Holy Spirit In Our Faces
Holy Angels At Our Back
When A Runner Starts To Tire
Wind and Wings Take Up The Slack

We’re Running Over Impossible
We’re Running Over Doubts And
Running Shoulder To Shoulder
And Running Up A Mountain!

We’re Running Thru Dark – Times
Running In The Day
There’s No Fear Of Getting Lost
We Hear King Jesus Say …

“I Am The Way
The Truth and The Light” (John 14: 6)
He Is The Daystar (Rev.22: 16)
To Guide Us Thru The Night

And There In The Near Future
Blue Ribbons Shines So Bright
For When We Reach The Finish Line
To Everlasting Life

… We’re In The Winner’s Circle
With Heaven Smiling On
We’re Laughing, Crying, Shouting
Singing ‘ Thank GOD! ’ Songs
