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?
