THE RACE
by Bill Kochman
07-19-2013
As I run this life’s race,
Sometimes I do fall down,
But unlike that poor Jack,
I don’t ever lose my Crown.
For even though I may fall,
The Lord is there for me,
He extends His loving hand,
Saying “I will deliver thee.”
Yes, Jesus picks me right up,
Then He simply dusts me off,
While the devils throw a fit,
And curse, scream and scoff.
Now, no force on this Earth,
Or even in the heavens above,
Can ever truly separate us,
From our great Father’s love.
If at times we do grow weak,
The Lord can make us strong,
Through our trials He will lead,
Till we sing the victor’s song.
A simple rule we need to follow,
Is to keep our eyes on Him,
And if we do this every moment,
The race we are certain to win.
