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.
