I Love To Run

I love to run, and it's not just for fun
When the sun's out & golden late in the afternoon
Or when the silver rain drizzles on a run in the park
I feel alive & grateful for my two faithful legs
Packing away the miles, racing against no one but my gut
Running's an honest sport in its very essence
It confronts you for who you are and pushes you that far
If you are willing, you will discover more about yourself
That you can endure amazingly beyond your reserves
I love running, to feel the breeze on my face
An entire body in sync and keeping pace
I feel a divine pleasure when I run
Knowing I'm fearfully and wonderfully made
Bringing me back to the basics of progress with discipline
Framing my life's stresses against a greater backdrop of life in God
Reminds me to run faithfully, to finish the race God outlined for me.
