Caught between the cross hairs

In this race I’m trying to lose

Other runners act as though

It’s the other lane I choose

I run with directive

purpose in my stride

My eyes fixed on the finish

Jesus at my side

His blood shed on the cross

while I was on his mind

He’s paid my ransom for me

No sin left behind

He lifts me when I falter

Loves me when I fight

His grace is in abundance

His wisdom brings me light

I run with directive

Purpose in my stride

My eyes fixed on you God

You’ve conquered this divide
