Still Standing and Inhaling
The characteristics of mankind has not changed from generation to generation
And we're all still the children of He who ordained creation
As there's nothing new under the sun and we need to comprehend
That basically we are all the same under the skin
We all have a good side as well as a bad
We all have some traits that we wish we didn't have
From Adam to Aaron from Ruth to Rehab
We're all alike be it indifferent, happy or sad
Yet God has a way of letting us know this one fact
He will often times make us aware of our bad acts
And when we fall down then we're more able to see
That maybe it's time to readjust our personalities
I've always felt that grey hair was a silent testimony
Of experiencing life's journey as we move towards maturity
And by gaining wisdom and knowledge as we travel along
Now better equipped to discern right from wrong
As the resurrection power that came through Jesus the Christ
Allowing us to rise above the dead things in life
Still standing and inhaling because of Jesus' sacrifice
Still standing and inhaling in the midst of pain, agony and strife
Still standing and inhaling knowing that we've sustained
The Spirit of God that inside of us remains
Now a little older, a little wiser with no room for bitterness
Inhaling the word of God so that we can now be blessed
Still standing and inhaling waiting for Jesus to return
Still standing and inhaling living by the scriptures that we've learned
Now realizing that the adversary has always been around
Now understanding that in this world evil can always be found
Still standing and inhaling witnessing for the Lord Jesus the Christ
Still standing and inhaling with the Great Commission as our purpose in life
Still standing and inhaling the glorious word of the almighty God
Still standing and inhaling with love in our hearts
