Fix you eyes on Jesus,
Look upon His lovely face;
Someday you'll see heaven,
Until then, stay in the race!
Keep looking straight ahead,
Don't look to the left or right;
Don't wander off His pathway,
Keep heading toward His light.
Keep running and don't look back
Until the race is won;
Some day you'll cross the finish line
And hear Him say, "Well done!"
- Jan McIntosh
2 Tim 4:7-8 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
Heb 12:1-2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
