I hear old folks say

They know faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

They have dreams

That make them burst at the seams

They hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

God turned them around

Then put them on solid ground

They move without fear

Cause their God is near

They see their purpose

Lying at the surface

Every time they fall

God answers their call

They know what to ignore

Cause they’re filled to the core

They’ve changed their view

Cause they know what God can do

They know their name

They’ve let go of their shame

They hold God’s hand

Right where they stand

And their life lessons

Have become heartfelt confessions

I hear old folks say

They do a victory dance

Whenever they get a chance

They look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Cause God set their path

Without unleashing His wrath

They rest in a home

Where their souls can roam

They have no doubt

That God will work things out

They feel unconditional love

Coming from heaven above

They hang on the encouraging word

They’ve always heard

They cherish every day

In a very special way

I hear old folks say
