Poetry
Man needs determination,
A purposed fixed and sure,
To follow God tenaciously
With a heart for God that's pure.
He'll set his face toward the goal
To win the holy prize.
He'll press on even though the fire
Is right before his eyes.
Assured that God is by his side,
Commitment is his theme.
The victory within his grasp
No longer is a dream.
The soldiers took the horses
And set the sticks on fire'
They'd tied under their bellies
To see if they would tire.
Regardless of their burning flesh,
The ones who'd keep on going
Were chosen fit for battle
In the Army; fit for warring.
We must also persevere
'Midst storm and wind, or strife.
We could be called at any time
To give our very life.
For the worthy cause of Jesus Christ
We will win the crown.
We'll run with patience;won't look back
'Til faultless we be found.
Regardless how hot the fire, how high the water ,may we run with patience the race that is set before us with all diligence, looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Amen! love, Diane
And now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the throne, to Him be all honor and Glory forever and ever amen.
