Along the Road

We’ve been running long now  

the road is long and holds many obstacles.

Dear Friend do not be discouraged,             

the prize will soon be won.

The race has been hard,                           

we’ve stumbled and fallen                          

We are thankful for those                           

who stopped to help us up.

We’ve seen so many along the way              

that were broken and hurting.                  

Angry at the Father and the world                

for the pain they have endured.

It would be good to say                               

that you and I helped them.                           

As we ourselves                                         

were once helped.

How sad it would be                                       

if we simply turned away.                           

Dear friend think of the race                      

they too must run.
