Run With Patience

In life's race that is set before us,
May the Lord lead us on our way.
May we run our race with patience,
And God's holy will, may we obey.

Let us not run ahead of God's will.
It may cause us to falter on our way.
The weights of sin will slow us down,
So in God's holy will, let us stay.

Waiting on God to renew our strength,
Let us run life's race as a saint.
With patience, we must wait on God,
And let us not be weary nor faint.

Christian, giving up is not an option,
Though trials may make it seem longer.
Remember, tribulation worketh patience,
And testing tends to make us stronger.

Hebrews 12:1, "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us."
