Senility Prayer

SENILITY PRAYER God, grant that my eyes Though growing dim now Still help me get around somehow And though my pate Is beginning to show A toupee will cover it up I know My gait has grown slow And a little shaky too But I can still dance a jig or two My hearing is almost totally gone And a chill has crept Into these old bones You have filled my heart with song My faith in You Lord Is still real strong I doze a lot In my easy chair But no one seems to really care They know my time is drawing nigh And they wonder sometime Why I sit and cry Well, Lord, the bottom line You see Is just how good You've been to me Blessed beyond measure By Your great hand I ponder Your salvation plan It pleases me to feel the love Sent through Your Son From up above To know that through His Blood I've been saved And He will raise me from the grave When He comes again He'll take me Home to be In Heaven for all eternity Curtis Moorman 13 May 2017
