As time goes by

We don’t wonder why

We face every day

We accept God’s way

How He removes our fears

As He dries our tears

How we get stronger

As our days get longer

Why we face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

How we see our purpose

Lying at the surface

How we look at the heart

Right where we start

As time goes by

We see what’s set in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

We see what we crave

And the love God gave

We take the time

To remember our prime

We see the steps we take

We see the memories we make

We see God standing there

With tender loving care

We fall and rise again

But God shows us how to win

We stand on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We learn to smile

Even laugh a little while

We see what’s real

We reveal what the heart can’t conceal

We build a bond

From here and beyond

We reach our peak

When we hear God speak

And we can see why

As time goes by
