Chin Up

Chin up, stand tall,
Looking straight ahead.
Don't trip, don't fall,
Feet heavy as lead.

Fire burning, under me,
Making me jump away.
Now safe, but soon enough,
More fire won't let me stay.

Stumbling block, in my path,
Keep from looking down.
Want to run, want to fly,
To land on solid ground.

More silence, no answers,
Listen for a voice to guide.
Am I ready? Will I hear Him?
Or run away to hide?

Chin up, stand tall,
Looking straight ahead.
I still hope, I still pray,
And long for worry to shed.
