What really keeps us going?
Our flesh surely can't be it,
It brings us down so often,
And makes us want to quit.

There is something greater,
Beyond our human frame,
A Power that dwells in us,
That keeps us in the game.

The earnest of the Spirit,
A treasure in pots of clay,
It fuels and drives forward,
As we serve Him day by day.

Nothing else can explain,
Why we keep on keeping on,
But the spark of His Spirit,
Till the race we have won.
