When did I grow so old
Just yesterday I was young
Not always doing what I was told
Life’s race had just begun
But now I am in a later season
The pace not near as fast
Perhaps I have more reason
Each day closer than the last
Looking back with mixed emotions
Would I make the same mistakes again
Not just going through the motions
But making necessary amends
To really know what is true
And finally be set free
To see exactly what I need to do
I am driven ever to my knees
For so long a time I did not realize
The depth of my sinfulness and pride
Then The Holy Spirit opened up my eyes
Christ Jesus suffered and died!
To reconcile me to His glorious throne
Love greater than any ever known
His righteousness now my very own
Unending mercy and grace…
leading me to my eternal home!
“Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”
John 3:4-5 ESV
