As I reflect on the years of my life.
Somehow I see only You.
You have been there each step of the way,
Teaching and guiding me through.
I learned as a teen, that in You I could trust
Only on You depend.
When I failed, You were there
To set me on the right path again.
Many times You've carried me,
Your strength was all I had
It was sufficient, and even in sorrow,
You would make my heart glad.
Every burden I brought to You,
Was lifted from my heart,
You give peace unknown to the world
Peace that will never depart.
You have given me all I need,
And many things beyond.
So many things to be thankful for,
The list could go on and on.
Family, friends and spiritual helps,
Freedom to worship and pray
On Calvary's cross Your blood was shed
For a debt I could not pay.
Many years you've given me
And when I 'm home with You
I want to hear You say, "Well done"
Grace has carried me through!
Lord, one thing more I now ask.
That a witness I will be
To redeem the time left down here
Let other's see Jesus in me!
