Hebrews 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
[2] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Anything that has more of us than Jesus has to go if we are to run well the race set before us.
If it isn't dealt with it will cause us to become discouraged.
But God will help us conquer it if we are sincere and will trust Him with it. He will give us victory.
Life’s Railway To Heaven
_____________________________
Life is like a mountain railway — With an engineer that's brave. — We must make this run successful — From the cradle to the grave. — Watch the curves, the fills, and tunnels; — Never falter, never fail. — Keep your hand upon the throttle And your eyes upon the rail.
Chorus:
Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us — Till we reach that blissful shore, — Where the angels wait to join us — In Thy praise forevermore
You will roll up grades of trial. — You will cross the bridge of strife. — See that Christ is your Conductor — On this lightning train of life. — Always mindful of obstruction, —
Do your duty, never fail. — Keep your hand upon the throttle And your eyes upon the rail.
As you roll across the trestle, — Spanning Jordan's swelling tide; — You behold the Union Depot — Into which your train will glide. — There you'll meet the Superintendent, — God the Father, God the Son. — With the hearty, joyous, plaudit, — Weary pilgrim, welcome home!
