It isn't easy to keep going

when all I want is to rest

so many nice places to stop

but my Father knows best

i began this journey long ago

never knew I'd get so far

so many experiences have touched me

as I write here under the North Star

I've lost friends along the way

some stopped running I know

either by choice or logic of others

O the things we tell our mortal soul

I'm older now and still running

getting weaker yet in Him I'm strong

more storms and dangers around each turn

yet the race I'm on is an eternal song

I see others who don't see the point

runnig to a kingdom they don't see

my eyes are on the finish line

this race was planned long ago for me
