Inspired by lyrics by Denise Rosier from “Hallelujah Today!”
The road is long but I will make it. That's who I am.
It’s not the race but how I’m running — not who I was, but who I’m becoming.
Steady on! I'll finish strong on this path.
With every breath in me, I call out, “Hallelujah today!”
With every mile I’m reminded, I never go empty-handed.
God is my strength. I'm never stranded. I’m not alone.
Together, we are calling out about the good and peace and joy resounding around the world.
In every song I sing, in every part of me, in everything, Hallelujah today!
