:23:01
Don't compromise.
Compromise is a language of the devil.
:23:05
Run in God's name
:23:07
and let the world stand back in wonder.
:23:21
# Lean and his mercy will provide
:23:27
# Trust and thy trusting soul shall prove
:23:33
# Christ is its life and Christ its love
:23:45
# Run the straight race
:23:47
# Through God's good grace
:23:51
# Lift up thine eyes
:23:53
# And seek his face
:23:57
# Life with its way before us lies
:24:10
You came to see a race today.
:24:12
To see someone win.
:24:15
It happened to be me.
:24:17
But I want you to do more
than just watch a race.
:24:21
I want you to take part in it.
:24:24
I want to compare faith to running in a race.
:24:29
It's hard.
:24:31
It requires concentration of will.
:24:34
Energy of soul.
:24:38
You experience elation
:24:40
when the winner breaks the tape,
:24:42
especially if you've got a bet on it.
:24:46
But how long does that last?
:24:48
You go home. Maybe your dinner's burnt.
:24:52
Maybe you haven't got ajob.
:24:55
So who am I to say believe,
:24:58
have faith, in the face of life's realities?
