As I Get Older,  I Need MORE Of Jesus!

The older I get, I see people die all around me.

Before I know it, death’s door shall find me!

The older I get, the more it’s getting plain to see.

I really need to start thinking about eternity!

The older I get, the more I’m getting forgetful.

There are things I have that aren’t very helpful!

The older I get, and think about the places I’ve been.

At times, it’s been so long, I can’t remember when.

As I get older, and think about what God has done…

There was a day long ago, when I accepted his son!

As I get older, there’s something precious to me.

It’s when I think about Jesus and his love for me!

As I get older, and my steps are getting shortened.

It’s the words of God that I want to be listenin’!

I need to spend more time with God in prayer.

Time is “passing me up.”  But often, I haven’t cared.

I need to rekindle my relationship with Christ above.

And allow him to strengthen my body with his love!

I need to be a yielded vessel to bring HIM praise!

And take time to honor him during my remaining days!

I ask Jesus to touch me with your holy spirit.

As I give my life to him, I need him to renew it!

My body is failing…  I should be praying and fasting.

It’s an honor to accept God’s gift of life everlasting!

Jesus is the redeemer that I’ve always needed!

He’s given me a new life!  Death is defeated!
