The Race

As I cross the line to see you face to face
Jesus will I be exhausted from running the race
or will I run into your arms in full embrace?

As I approach the final turn
I can see your eyes reminding me of all I have learned
I am reminded of your love for me
and as you whispered wisdom while I sat beneath the tree

I am able to recall every moment you rescued me
and the peace that transformed my soul
each step closer I get I feel the warmth of your smile
and long for you more each mile

Songs fill my mind with your beauty
And my body begins to pick up speed
You are just around the corner as I look, I begin to see
There you are arms wide open waiting patiently

I can hear you cheering “You’re almost there”
Then something beautiful happens
I feel your hand in mine
and your spirit once again is carrying me to the end

Oh Lord what a race it has been
Looking back, I could see where it all began
I fall at your feet
Tears of joy filling my heart
I am home and now
We will never be apart
