                                                   Running with Joy

 

                                                            

I’m letting go of being strong

Of thinking I can fix the wrong

Of thinking it is up to me

Or that I know best how things should be 

 

I’m learning how to just receive 

The grace that comes as we believe 

And rather than devising plans

Believing in God's sovereign hand 

 

I’m letting go of feeling bad

That in this life there’s  so much sad

Instead, I’ll take this long range view

Someday all things will be made new

 

The things that I cannot control 

Could weigh me down and take their toll 

But I trust them to the God of grace 

And then with joy I can run the race!

 

“looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”    ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ (‭ESV‬‬)
