things that fade away – v3

Each of us runs the race

the race of our lives,

the journey set before us

or one we create in time

God wants us to run

the race He intended,

to focus on the things that last

not things that fade away

We must focus on the eternal

not the stuff of this earth,

for this Christ came from heaven

to give us new life
