RUNNER

He stands at the starting line. 
He’s in full alert, but he’s feeling fine.
Waiting for the sound of the gun, 
then he’s off the blocks, heading down the line.

He’s not running for the usual reasons like
mere competition or strife.
He’s not running for the glory or fame.
He’s running for his life!

Shot fired, and the race is on!
Now he’s on the run. Yeah, he’s just begun.
Detractors and well-wishers stand on either side,
He must pay them no mind.

His mind is closed to everything that might
break his concentration.
His heart and soul are being fueled by a holy motivation.
Don’t want to end in disgrace.
He got to win this race!

He’s not running for the glory or fame.
He’s running for his life!
This ain’t no mere game to him.
He’s on the edge of a knife.
He’s running for his life.
He’s running from the darkness towards the Light.

Heart pounding.
Legs grow weary.
Short of breath now…

FAITH! HOPE! LOVE!

He’s found his second wind,
now he’s pressing on, speeding up again.
Finish line lying up ahead.
Can he keep up the pace?
Will he reach the end?

In this contest he got to rely upon
much more than muscle and bone.
It takes a spirit burning white hot with
the vision of his true home.
He running for his life.
He’s running from the darkness towards the Light.
