not by might, not by power...

it's been a while since i've been reminded that i'm not facing life alone. somehow, when the chips are down, it seems like it's me taking on the entire world all on my own. and when my knees are buckling and trembling under the immense weight of it all, just as i'm about to fall, God slots something like this in to remind me that He is with me throughout and ever present in the people i can be proud to call and acknowledge as family, blood or otherwise. i'm not alone, and i only need look to the great people He has surrounded me for the strength to keep running the race...

I Will Run To You

Your eye is on the sparrow
And Your hand, it comforts me
From the ends of the Earth to the depth of my heart
Let Your mercy and strength be seen

You call me to Your purpose
As angels understand
For Your glory, may You draw all men
As Your love and grace demand

And I will run to You
To Your words of truth
Not by might, not by power
But by the spirit of God
Yes I will run the race
'Till I see Your face
Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace
