Do not run aimlessly – v4

There is a lesson for all of us
Words of caution, of advice,
in the example of Paul’s life
not to run aimlessly
but with purpose, intent
running the race before us
the path Christ set on this earth

Following our Master
in the way set for us
focused on the goal
the crown of eternal life;
striving through the trials
ever following His light
cleaving to our Savior
all the days of our life
