Can We Get Back?

We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses,
isn't it time for us to throw off all the hindrances?
We are called to urgently lay aside every weight,
why do we still hold on to things that stagnate?

We are encourage to run this race with endurance,
can we when sins we choose not to bid riddance?
We are told to keep our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus,
how can we who have given up our life's purpose?

We are taught that Jesus did endure the cross with joy,
how can we when God's presence we no longer enjoy?
We are taught that Jesus did it all for the Father's will,
can we do the same when his word is no longer our fill?

We have since grown tired, weary, fainthearted,
and the struggle against sin is no longer resisted.
We are down in the dirt, hurt, filled with shame,
wondering if he will hear if we speak his name.

We desire to and are desperately longing to proclaim,
to declare, to shout, and to testify that We Overcame!
Let's not delay or ponder any longer: "Can we get back?"
God says, "YES! Today, you can get back on track."
