Readiness to Run

"My soul cleaveth to the dust.... My soul melteth for heaviness.... Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me Thy law graciously.... I will run the way of thy commandments, when Thou shalt enlarge my heart" (Psalm 119:25-32).

Lord, I hear You gently calling
To run a race that's steady.
The flesh is weak, my is soul is stalling,
My spirit, though, is ready.

My soul is cleaving to the dust,
And weighted down, is heavy.
Yet I would run! O Lord, I must!
O Lord, please make me ready!

Remove from me the lying ways
That always make me stumble.
Let me focus on Your praise,
Surrendered, Lord, and humble.

O Lord, uphold me by Your grace
With strength that I may run
With patience my appointed race
To hear You say: Well done!
