We're all here to run our race,
And "winners" take the prize.
A healthy competition
Where skills and courage vie!
But to win you must begin,
The shot is right on time-
Be ready at the starting gate
To take off on a dime.
Paul says only "one" can win
In each Christian race;
Shining a triumphal grin
On a grateful face.
We know it takes some practice,
And the "right" know how…
Plus a lot of strategy
Learned behind the "plow!"
So groom your ride and gird your loins,
With bright silken threads.
Obey all rules and keep the Faith-
To race and move ahead!
