Growing Older

GROWING OLDER How time flies Quicker than the blink of an eye The earth's gone round the sun another time And the bears have bedded down again for the night Countless stars Have been born or burned out all their light And the geese have all flown south two thousand times Since You, Yourself, went up into the sky And You're coming back You're coming back Am I growing wiser? Am I growing kinder? Does love mark my life? And for the cause of Christ Am I growing bolder? Am I becoming more faithful? Am I growing more grateful? Am I looking more like You? Am I growing in Your truth? Or am I just growing older? As my life Passes right before these tired eyes I think about a not too distant time When, Jesus, You'll come back for Your bride And it won't be long And Lord, I hope it won't be long Am I growing truer? Am I growing holier? Am I dying to my sin? And living more for Him? Am I growing closer? Am I becoming more worshipful? Am I growing more merciful? Am I looking more like You? Am I growing in Your truth? Or am I just growing older?
