Done

We have to continue our run, until He says "Well, done."


Ever start out, on a nice morning run,
The mist of the dawn, orange glow, rising sun.
You focus your mind, and you get a good stride,
Then all of a sudden, sharp pain in your side.

In that moment, your thought train’s derailed.
Your vision for winning, has just been impaled.
You don’t want to stop, you want to press through.
You know a strong mind, can pull a weak you.

But the pain is unrelenting, step after step.
Every heal strike, and every deep breath.
Worry creeps in, “Will I be overcome?”
"I started so strong, Oh please, don’t be done."

The lessons of life, we strive to achieve.
But when the going gets rough, some give up and leave
We welcome success, when we’re confident and sure.
Bu we seem ill-prepared for what it means to endure.

When it seems to go wrong, our mind closes in.
The loss clouds our view, discouraged to win.
What happened to hope? We were eager to run,
We second guess ourselves, Oh what have I done?

Not saying its easy, its all case by case.
The Bible lays it out, like running a race.
Saying all will run, but only one wins.
Teaching us to have resolve, before we even begin.

Run like a winner. Focus on the prize.
Every runner has pain. Every runner cries.
What about bad choices that can’t be made right?
Commitments made in haste, or born out of spite.

There’s a wide difference, between the words stop and quit.
It’s right to be done logically, rather than done, sick of it.
And also the goal, you know it’s worthwhile.
You know as you push on, there’s reason to smile.

Train your mind and mouth, use cautiously - “I’m done.”
In the Holy Spirit’s power, this race can surely be won.
Push past the pain, endure the struggle.
The reward in eternity, the rest from all trouble.

Know that HE is invested, that you go the length.
He’s there for us to cling to, and run in His strength.
Though what’s often most meaningful, isn’t much fun.
It’ll be worth it all, hearing Him say, “Well done.”
