Trial of Endurance

Panting my way up to the finish line

Sweaty and achy, halfway up the incline

Jogging against the winds of Satan

My body grows more tired than it’s ever been

With no clue how I’m going to make it

It’s taking everything I’ve got not to quit

It would be so easy to just stop and stand still

And watch the others pass me up the hill

But I’m not a quitter, I won’t give up

The race is not over til I win the cup

The race will not be won

Until my life here on earth is done

Celestial glory could not be obtained

If I quit and just remain

Sitting on the stone of failure
-keep running you must endure
