Once When I Was 7 Years Old

Once I was 7 years old with Mother looking down at me And the story that she told of the Lord setting me free Saying He is always at my side that I never need to fear That in Him I should abide oh this point to me was so clear When I was 11 years old my Father turned to me to say No closer could anyone hold in the making of your way Repeating moms own story most things I already heard Always the part of His Glory that my own heart had stirred Once when I was 30 years old my wife looks over at me Saying remember the story told, our Lord setting us free All that pain that He went through crucified upon a tree And He did it for me and you so you and I could be free Once when I was 60 years old my wife recently passed You'd think life would be cold knowing that nothing last But like mom saying at seven He is holding us so dear For when we all get to Heaven it will all become so clear Once when I was 7 years old..
