The Race

With endurance, 
The race
Set before us, 
We run;
Not competing against
But competing as one…
One body, one Spirit
One strength, one Head.
One common goal
Under certain command…
Love one another
As I have loved,
He says…

Love is the need,
And love is the proof;
If you love, you’ll obey,
You’ll follow My word.
Love born of Me
Is the power to move
And to tell every creature you meet;
Love poured out
Is love poured in,
The strength to run the race
With your brother.
