On your Mark....Get set...Go!
My heart was pounding......my eyes filled with tears
So many doubts.....and so many fears.
I grabbed my bible.....and hit my knees
Cried out to Jesus.....to hear my pleas.
“Lord, I need you.....I need a new start
Please forgive me....and give me a new heart.”
He reached down from heaven....and I felt His touch
“Your sins are forgiven,” He said, ..... “I love you so much!
Now you're my child.....just a baby reborn
feeding on my word....safe and secure.
You'll learn to sit up....then to crawl but
I promise to be with you......forever through it all.
Now we're walking hand in hand
the race is on....and forever we'll stand.
There will be some bumps.....and some bruises on the way
but always remember.....tomorrows a new day.
I'll never leave you or forsake you......I'm always by your side
cheering you on......you no longer have to hide.
Your slate's wiped clean.....by the blood that I shed
put a smile on your face....and hold up your head.
When the race is over....and the battle is won
I'll welcome you home my child and your work will be done.”

A suggestion to help the reader, would be to end the first line of the 7th stanza with the word "crawl", beginning the NEXT line with "But..." so that the rhyme occurs as the last word of each line.
