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
