When in the race of life we find

That we are falling far behind

When every hill is higher than

That last hill on which we ran


When strength is low and doubt is high

When it's easier to give up than try

When each step hurts a little more

Than every step we took before


When every step we take seems wrong

When we feel like we just don't belong

When we can't see the finish line

Just take each mile one at a time!


It's not who finishes first that's best

It's how we do throughout the test

And it's not the order of how we complete

But just how well we each compete


But, no matter how grim the odds might seem

We are never given the chance to dream

Without given the chance to make it come true

If we will not give up and see it through


It's the hills we face that make us strong

But each hill we face is forever gone

And though the flatland's the easier way to go

It's the hills that enable us to grow


So, when in the race of life we find

That we are falling far behind

Just tell yourself and you'll see it through

"With God there's nothing I can't Do"
