An overcoming life of grace <br />Is not won by warring will <br />When all hell attacks apace <br />I must let my thoughts distill <br /> <br />To rise above this deathly tide <br />When all that I hold dearest <br />Is pressed hard on every side <br />Demands a faith that's fearless <br /> <br />To rest in God's assurance <br />The footprints that I've pressed <br />In the sands of time's endurance <br />Are best walked at His behest<br /><br />Mark Walters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-winning-walk/
