Through the years
You’ve never let me down
Your right hand has upheld me
The shadow of your presence has always cloaked me
My mind flashes back on many missteps of times past
Of fiery moments that could have consumed me
But your steadfast mercy held fast
Through the years
It’s true O Lord
That I have failed in so many ways
That my shortcomings find me guilty over and over
But your amazing love and grace
Has been a constant companion
Through the years
My heart is filled with the peace of the present moment
Knowing that in you, I have enough
Thank you for another addition to my years
For the blessings that I do not deserve
For I have done nothing to earn them
Through the years O Lord
You’ve remained the same.
Thank you for your love.
