To run the laps of others
and to walk down every street
God has not promised blessings
Nor His might when problems greet
But His strength is for the weary
And His power to us is given
Through every long and lonely lap
On our own race to Heaven
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Isaiah 40:29 ESV
Our Own Race

Before we had faces
And we had no voice at all
Then no one else could see us
When we were small – small – small
God took the plans He’d made
And put them out to see
To show to all the pattern
He would use for you and me
Then stamped His image on our hearts
And signed the bottom line
So we would be delivered
Just exactly in His time!
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Psalm 139:13 NIV
Before We Had Faces

To every bird God gives a voice
And a time to sing out strong
Like shepherds who gave shouts of praise
And Mary gave her song
The mockingbird sings bright and clear
The sparrow simply cheeps
And crows caw loudly in the streets
While the silent owl sleeps
And above us all there stands the One
Who gives us each our parts
A time for each of us to sing
With humble joyful hearts
The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
Song of Solomon 2:12 ESV
