In Pursuit of Life

Life can be a fickle game,
full of twists and turns.
We strive for wealth, we strive for fame,
but sometimes it only burns.
In the depths of this uncertain strife,
God’s word holds true, the essence of true life.

We work so hard to get ahead,
to make our dreams come true.
But the price we pay can leave us dead,
with nothing left to do.
We toil and strive, seeking to get ahead,
weaving unseen tapestries, thread by thread.

We push and push, and sometimes we win,
and sometimes we lose it all.
But in the end, it’s the journey within,
that makes us stand up tall.
Chasing dreams, the price we pay leaves us feeling spent,
With empty hands, wondering where our efforts went.

For the true journey has yet to begin,
embrace its flow, the path we tread,
God’s word is the strength to overcome sin,
Never surrender, god’s strength is widespread.
In God’s word, in His love, find solace and might,
For in the grand tapestry of life, it’s the ultimate light.

Take what life gives, hold it tight,
never let it go.
For in the end, it’s the fight,
that makes us strong, you know.
if we fix our gaze on the divine,
In God’s embrace, our souls shine!

Hold tight, we push, we win,
sometimes we lose,
life offers us, God or sin,
with determination we must choose.
as we walk this winding road of fate,
God’s grace is what makes us great.

For in the battles we face,
this war, is already won,
victory through Grace,
saved through Jesus, God is one.
So let us walk the narrow path, steadfast and true,
Where faith and hope guides what we pursue.
