Don't keep your chin up

It's not about keeping your chin up
It's more about lifting your eyes
It's not about hurtling the finish line
It's more about treasuring your prize

So go knock down those hoops
And unclench your fists
I'd like you to rip up your resume
(Would you please start obsessing over his?)

Hold out your empty, trembling hands
Steady your wobbling knees 
Rub your cowering self-focus right out of your eyes
Stretch your weak mind to believe.

It is so not about you running this race
It's not even about keeping time
The only way you will make it is to cling onto grace
"His victory and merit are mine."

Join in His dance. Hum along to His song.
What he starts he will always complete.
Feast your eyes on the glory of rescue achieved
Lift your gaze. Lift your tired eyes.

(And as you do, I suspect you will find...)
Your chin won't lag behind.
