The years have left their imprint
On my hands and on my face.
Erect no longer is my walk
And slower is my pace.

But there is no fear within my heart
Because I'm growing old,
I only wish I had more time
To further serve my Lord.


When I've gone to Him in prayer
He has brought me inner peace,
And soon my cares and worries
And all other troubles cease.


He has blessed me in so many ways,
He has never let me down.
Why should I fear the future
When I soon may touch His crown?


Though I know down here my time is short
There is endless time up there,
And He will forgive and keep me 
forever in His loving care.


May I not waste an hour 
That's left to glorify His name 
Of the One who died, that we may live,
and for our sins took all the blame.
