To win a physical contest, you must train vigilantly 
This will make your body perform with great agility. 

Spiritual training is much the same,
training with our mind, soul and heart. 
To bring us across the finish line, with great speed, from the very start

The finish line of our life often seems so sad at times.
The Spirit of God being in our lives, 
We will hear those glorious chimes.
