Now I have been a child of God at every blessed age
And I have lived in awe of Him through every growing stage
I’ve hoped and wished and dreamt that He will hear my urgent plea
Oh gracious Lord, I love You so, please be my destiny !
Now I have been a child of God at every blessed age
And I have lived in awe of Him through every growing stage
I’ve hoped and wished and dreamt that He will hear my urgent plea
Oh gracious Lord, I love You so, please be my destiny !
The day is coming soon enough
The road’s been rocky, steep and tough
Is this the day that’s still to come
When angels gather only some,
To lead them into fields of gold
Where words of God resound untold
And man may reach his glory road
Where all His wisdom glows and flowed ?
Our Lord shall rule from up above
The air we breathe instilled with love
And so it is and so ’twill be
When all of earth at last is free !
For every single tear we’ve shed
Like pools of blood that we have bled
Our God has all His mercy shown
And makes His purpose clearly known.
We are His children one and all
And meant to answer to His call
It matters not if night or day
He summons us, we must obey !
Among the wishes that I made
When I was young and unafraid
The one that I remember best
Is that I vowed to not possess
A jealous heart or unkind thought
In keeping with the lessons taught
Stick to the rules obey the Lord
Accept His grace with true accord !
