Endless Race

Hurry, hurry, rush through life
Take care of problems, deal with strife.
All day long we dash around
Work ourselves into the ground.

Pausing here and flitting there,
Passing by without a care.
Living life like an endless race
Desperate to keep up the pace.

         Stop a moment, take a breath
         Rest a while, this side of death
         Realize what’s been done for you
         It’s only Christ Jesus we’re living through.

Going so fast, you’re passing by
A brave little face, trying not to cry.
Take a moment to dry her tear
Giving comfort by being near.

Sit for a moment on the telephone,
He’s lost and hurting, and so alone.
Push back your schedule if you dare
Just by listening, he knows you care.

                Stay for a moment, stop and stand
                Be the face of Christ, be His hands
                Show another what’s been done for you
                It’s only Christ Jesus we’re living through.
