Old People Say

I hear old people say

God will make a way

That an answered prayer

Shows God is there

That they gain strength

By talking with God at length

That what they feel is real

Something they can’t conceal

I hear them say every journey

Is ordained by God only

Their souls are free

They know what’s meant to be

That they rest on solid ground

And share the joy they’ve found

They know what they hold

That their story will be told

They build new dreams

That make them burst at the seams

They know where they stand

As they hold God’s hand

They remember who they are

As they reach for a star

They say life is better

Cause they embrace it to the letter

I hear old people say

They do a victory dance

Whenever they get a chance

They know what’s in stone

They know they’re not alone

They say God is the light

They follow day and night

They complete every mission

With crystal clear vision

They look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Cause they know God set their path

Without unleashing His wrath

I hear old people say

They rest in a home

Where their souls can roam

They hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all they’ve heard

And they enjoy every day

Old folks say

Getting Happy

Waking up every day

Knowing God made a way

Lifting my voice in song

Cause faith keeps me strong

Doing my victory dance

Whenever I get a chance

Resting in the home

Where my soul can roam

Learning what to ignore

As God fills me to the core

Breaking into a smile

Even laughing a little while

Feeling nothing but love

Coming from heaven above

Feeling God’s power

Hour after hour

Running my race

In a safe and secure place

The world knowing my name

Faith removing my shame

Building new dreams

Until I burst at the seams

Moving without fear

Cause my purpose is clear

Learning to let go

Of what I used to know

Looking straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God set my path

Without unleashing His wrath

Having no doubt

That God will work things out

Giving as good as I get

With very little regret

Keeping my faith close

Cause faith matters most

Enjoying moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

Seeing what’s in stone

Knowing I’m never alone

Learning what to ignore

As God fills me to the core

Falling then rising again

Knowing with faith I’ll win

Embracing every journey

Meant just for me only

Never ever pretending

Cause love is never ending

I’m just getting happy
