Gym shoes and socks and shorts and shirts,
Ignoring the fact that my legs and feet hurt,
The treadmill, the dread mill, the workout today,
Perspiring two hundred calories away.
Fitness for me is something I’ll seek,
Goodbye tired moments and feeling so weak,
My body’s the temple I’m working on,
Go on extra fat, go on and be gone.
No waddling, no drooping, no lazy old me,
Bicycling and swimming and vitamin C,
Jack LaLane, I’ve been listening, I’m ready to go,
I’ll drink lots of water, good seeds will I sow.
Oranges and apples and what’s from the ground,
Yellow and red and orange and round,
And nothing that’s processed will pass through these lips,
Strong muscles and bones and no more fat hips.
My trainer is Jesus,
He keeps me in shape,
I’m walking with vigor,
I’m running by faith.
I’m weaker, yet stronger,
Running the race,
Fit for the Father,
I am keeping the pace.
I’ll buffet myself,
Like a soldier I’ll train,
I’ll be fit as a fiddle,
And ready to reign.
I’ll be running all out,
As I win the great race,
A champion in Jesus,
I’ll look in His face.
A trophy for fitness,
A loud victory cry,
The cheers of the angels,
As I cross the line.
