May I Be Found Faithful

Find Us Faithful

We're pilgrims on the journey
Of the narrow road
And those who've gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who've gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives

Chorus:
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift though all we've left behind
May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find

I still remember the first time I heard and sang this song was all the way back in my uni days, as a young Christian. Recently, this song came back to my mind again. It never fails to remind me that in my walk with God, it's really about a race we are all running. And it's going to take faith and faithfulness to not just finish the race, but to finish it well. Sometimes, tiredness and discouragement sets in and we all need some encouragement. Someone once said that to receive encouragement means to receive courage. I like that. Yes, we all need courage to run this race well.
And my prayer is I will run this race well and may I be found faithful!

As I released the old group and lead a new one, I pray that I would have left a pleasing legacy to the older girls and start to create a new one for the younger girls. Faith to see more of God's glory!
