I'm Seventy four...!

I’ve passed through the door!

it’s another year…

on this earth’s layer!

and I’m aware each time…Faith…takes a chair…

GOD…still…stands so near!

My thoughts on Him…rush…come and go

my admiration spilling so

for it’s His Spirit…like feathers…falling through the air…

it’s His Presence…I feel, His Voice…I hear

and it is so very clear…

GOD…still…stands so near!

In attendance all my days

the foundation for these times…He laid

meticulously…without a flaw

from crib to now…His Love does draw…

my tireless benefactor…so sincere!

GOD…still…stands so near!

He molds and shapes with celestial clout

rousting the invading…doubt

A Regal Savior…inspires…this bard

to lift Him high… as onward I trod

To say I understand it all would be a lie

but clarity of His will …will come…by and by

meanwhile…my tears He catches…also, my sighs

fulfilling…His Promises…with every sunrise

Thus, here and now…unto The King I bow!

trusting and knowing…in His way…some how…

we’ll never cease to walk together

Him and I…through all kinds of weather

He’s…The One…who will...continue…my burdens…to bare…

         GOD…!

                Still…

                      Stands…so very near!
