The Mark

Recently, I added a new activity to my lifestyle – teen-age camping, I’m on my second year in it. For this year, our theme was “Reaching for the mark” taken from Phil 3:13, 14.
I had the assignment of writing the camp theme song. It started as an assignment; it ended as an expression of my life ambition. I loved the song more because it tells the story of what I should live for. The lyrics are below:

The Mark

I am reaching
Reaching for the Mark
I am running
Running for the Prize

I keep my eyes upon the Lord
I will not be ashamed at all
In this world, I’ll walk with Him
At His return, I’ll rise in Him

Ch
O to live a life that pleases God
That’s all I ask and all I pray
In everything I do each day
I do it all for You O God

Bridge
Walking in the Spirit
And living in the Light O
O……..

I did an amateur recording on my PC. You can access it here and here (two versions of the same song).
I am living for this song to become me, to live a life that pleases God so that in everything I do each day, I do it all for God.
