As I Look Back On the Life I'Ve Lived

As I Look Back On The Life I’ve Lived… As I look back… I think of what God’s done for me… If not for his grace… I’m not sure where I’d be! As I look back… ! think of many “wasted years…” I think of the many struggles, trials and tears. As I look back… And think of the many things I did… I’m not always happy with the way I’ve lived! As I look back… Reflecting on the passing of time… I’m here today with a lot of “uncertainty” on my mind. I’m going to look ahead… And make this my ambition… To seek God’s will and word, for a new direction! As I look ahead… Serving Christ will be my goal! And obey his commands with my body, mind and soul! As I look ahead… May God’s love be my inspiration! I want to serve him and give him my full attention! As I look ahead… ! want God’s peace to surround me! May his spirit and presence be all around me! As I look ahead… May I serve others in whatever I do! As my way of expressing to God; “I love you!” As I look ahead,… May my treasures in heaven abound! May the light of Jesus shine all over town! As I look ahead… May God’s mercy flow continually! As one day soon… I’ll be with HIM for eternity! By Jim Pemberton
