Sixty-Eight And Counting

Today I celebrate the anniversary for my birth. It is unbelievable that I have survived 24,837 days on this planet.  Most of those 816 months I was unaware of the big picture.  I would like to thank my wife for all she has put up with and thank both Mom and Dad for all the sacrifices they made on my behalf but most of all I want to thank you, Lord Jesus.

For the wisdom I gain

With each little pain

As I grow old

I can see my goal.

While my eyes are week

It is You I seek

It becomes easy to see

What You mean to me.

You hung on the cross

So I wouldn’t be lost

You were willing to die

So I wouldn’t fry.

It seems so unfair

That you suffered there

And all I need to do

Is to follow You.

For all You have done

My heart You have won

Give me the grace

For my troubles to face.

You point me home

When I start to roam

You dry my eye

When I start to cry.

When the road gets rough

You help me hang tuff

Remarkably true, it’s always You

For You are the one who pulls me through.

Amen
