Keep your eyes
On the prize
Christ has
Set before you
Eyes to see
Hope
The soul
To welcome
The flares
Of fire
My heart
To seek
Love
The body
To find
Effusive joy
Because
I’m armed
By the King
Of Heaven
Who came
To Earth
Living fearlessly
Without doubt
Of tomorrow’s outcome
The Son
In me
Within me
To rise
On the wings
Of angels
To lead me
In my efforts
Now and forever
My desire
Is that
God is present
Ridding myself
Of my own fleshly ambitions
Has been a battle
Not without sin
Here in these parts
I don’t deny it
The fact is
I need forgiveness
For my wayward thoughts
Stripping my worldly wants
For a faith
Tested and redeemed
Is taking on
A new level
Of patience
Don’t ask me
To pray for it
I haven’t
And He is
Still having me
Seek what
I don’t want
Don’t question
If God
Won’t do it
It happens every day
Every time
Why
Is uttered by
My lips
I get
Taught
Another lesson
In what
It means to wait
Admit defeat
Yet say thank you
Anyway
Learning those powerful lessons, no matter how difficult they might seem at the time, we trust in God's plan, and we are free in His grace and mercy to live fully as He always intended. Blessings always!
