This journey is described as a race,
Not a sprint, but as a long distance.
In the end, the opportunity to see your Face.
So, I struggle along daily with persistence.
Always, He is by my side.
Like my dad, walking beside me on my bike.
Until I had the confidence to ride on my own.
So I walk this journey, not alone.
Knowing you are near.
Some days filled with joy,
Some days filled with tears.
Yet with realization, all my days are a gift.
I offer them up as a fragrant sacrifice,
That they may be pleasing in your sight.
one day, I will finish this race,
Not on my own power, but with your might.
Rejoicing now for all eternity because of your astounding grace.
