“Dedication” by Marcus Twisdale

 

Dedication, that’s the key.

Dedication’s the path for me.

Dedication builds character. Dedication makes the man.

It’s the difference between my foundation on the Rock and my sinking in the sand.

Dedication makes me strong. Dedication makes me whole.

It’s that step of faith that leads me to walk instead of crawl.

 

To be dedicated involves my decision to stand,

Not alone but by command.

That command that set the standard is the one that sets the goal.

Dedication strengthens so I can continue. He strengthens so I can say,

“I’ve done my best with what I’ve had.

I’ve done it good and that’s not bad.

I never gave up or gave in.

It wasn’t by the strength without but that which was within.”

 

Dedication, He’s the mark of the strong.

He’s the One that brought me to this point.

In Him my life takes shape.

In Him I’ll succeed because He will not quit.

Dedication will provide when all else fails.

Because His character is perseverance, He blazes the trails.

Pushing with heart and a will to perfection, it’s the goal of Dedication to finish well.

 

There is no exception, no excuse to give up.

I’ve given myself to surrender my desires and by His power I’ll not let up.

That evidence of Dedication is a thrilling thought indeed.

But unless I hold on to Him with all my might and trust,

Then all my desires and thoughts of completion will be nothing more than an unplanted seed.

 

It’s Dedication that makes the man. I believe that with all my heart.

By Him I’ll look my tasks in the face with all intention of success and say,

“I know my goal. I will not back down.

My flesh can distract me or drive me in the ground.

I’ll trust in Christ with all my heart.

I’ll get back on my feet. From that goal I’ll not depart.

Dedication brought me here.

Dedication will take me home.

But while the latter is still on hold I will not dwell and roam.

I’ll plant my feet on Him Who strengthens me.

I’ll stand strong and firm by Dedication for He is the key.

 

 Because of Christ,

Marcus Twisdale
