Running the Human Race

Of everything in my life Lord, may I make You the center,
And in all I do and say, may You be my constant mentor,
This life is way too short, for me to waste one second of it,
For in the puzzle of my being, You make all the pieces fit,
May I resist all the temptations, that the devil throws at me,
Because from all of my old passions Lord, You have set me free,
For not one day ever goes by, that Satan doesn't try to touch my mind,
But in Your presence Lord, it is always peace and hope I find,
Then there is Your promises, and in them I feel secure,
For You Lord show me there is more to it, than just to endure,
I just can't imagine living, outside Your mercy and Your grace,
So I want You beside me Lord, as I run this human race.
