My desire is to finish this race, on my journey compelled by Grace, <br />Thrust forth every day and hour, solely on The Holy Spirit’s Power. <br />Christ is the one I whom endear, as some situations turn into fear, <br />For His presence will never cease, and this gives my heart peace. <br /> <br />This gives me peace in a land, where many men don’t understand, <br />That Jesus Christ never died, and reigns today at His Father’s side. <br />Today many people have fallen away, into Satan’s deceptive sway, <br />Satan being the father of all lies, comes to many lives in a disguise. <br /> <br />He changes things in subtle ways, and even receives undue praise, <br />Satan is behind all the subtle ways, deceiving multitudes in our days. <br />Soon his dark reign will cease, when God sends The Prince of Peace. <br />Deception will come to an end for him, along with all this wicked sin. <br /> <br />For all those who come to Christ, they will enter into His Eternal Light. <br />For those who refuse His Light, they shall enter into an eternal night. <br />It was the Grace of Jesus Christ, that started me on this race of life, <br />And it shall be the Grace of Christ, which sees me into Eternal Life. <br /> <br />Soon earthly darkness all will end, with only Light around the bend, <br />Christ’s pure Light for all Eternity, when His Glorious face I shall see. <br />Then I’ll know I am done the race, when I finally look upon His face. <br />Until then I must faithfully run, in hope to hear Christ say well done.<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/finish-the-race/
