Poem#71 Finishing the Race
1 Peter 4:14, 2 Timothy 4:16-17, Mark 13:9-13, Philippians 3:12-21
Jesus is the Finisher of Hope for those that Believe He’s God
As the Son of Man, Son of God is the One in the same in Father
Just as Jesus Prayed in John 17 so that we would know Him
The Flesh is going to hurt just as we stub a toe or break a bone
Or lose a Life which we knew all our life until one day they’re gone
Pain often brings out the worst in fears & regrets as we resent life
Now isn’t the time to let satan stay in our head as it’s only lies
That’s keeping us from remembering the Truth that it’s only Jesus
Nobody else is the Author finisher of our Faith & in Him we Win
Yes we’re still going to feel pain even as the Holy Spirit helps us
Without the pain we’d have to question our faith in who’s helping
As the devil leaves us alone when our faith is dead
God is God of all comfort who comforts generously to who ask
Whether we ask in releaving of physical pain to finish finish a task
Or asking to get us through a Humanly impossible, but God possible
Leave the regrets & all resentment about life with the cross of Jesus
Be Still to Hear God, hear the Hall of Faith cheering us on in our Race
Run peacefully knowing the Holy Spirit will get us across the Finish Line
Nobody knows when the finish line will be in sight until seeing Jesus
We don’t have to fear not knowing because of the Faith written by Him
Guided by the Holy Spirit to fulfill each Word spoken in Finishing the Race
