We have all heard the story,
Of the tortoise and the hare,
The hare acted so confidently,
But just never made it there.

As for that wise, old tortoise,
He just patiently trod along,
And while he was a lot slower,
To him the victory did belong.

Running our long race of faith,
Is very similar to that tale,
It's not really how fast we run,
Only that we run the race well.
