Strength for the race

Jesus, please don't run so fast
i can't keep up(with this weak heart);
Seems like everyone's ahead of me
and i feel like i'm nowhere today.

i doubt i can finish this race,
how much further can i run

feeling like a dry leaf crushed;
i can't see clear, there's so much in the way.

Thinking of You, as i run i said "even if i loose my way, 

promise me Jesus You'll come back for me."
Then i heard this voice behind me,
"All those promises I gave you, I meant them from My heart."
You were always behind me, making sure i still run for the finish line.

All those bruises from the falls i had, it hurts,
Thought it'll get me to disqualify..
But i heard You say "I just want you to still keep moving towards our home,

 Remember I am the first and the last."

Don't let me forget Your words,
that i heard when i was smiling with You;
Please help me remember them,
even in my tears.

Humbled i'm still trying to finish this race,
i see hope as i glance back at You,
to catch Your smile as i run ahead;
All the obstacles overshadowed by Your grace and mercy now.

                 finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—                   the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.'
