Let
Me Run A Godly
Race
Oh, let me run
the race on
wing-ed feet,
My arms
outstretched and
reaching for the
prize,
With loving
prayers for
everyone I meet,
My eyes affixed
on treasures in
the skies.
Oh,
let me soar
above the evil
world
On wings
propelled by
God's own
strength and
might,
And let me ever
keep His flag
unfurled
And waving
brightly in His
realm of light.
Oh,
let me take His
hand and walk
the seas
Throughout the
universe of
space and time,
Expounding truth
of God on bended
knees,
Extolling
wonders of His
love divine.
Then when my
mortal race at
last is run,
Let Jesus smile
and say,
"My child,
well done."
