Don’t count the years, count the blessings
“He who has begun a good work within you will continue until the day of Christ.”Phil 1-6
You’ll never grow old if you have a goal
Seek for courage when life is unkind
Hold on to the sweet and precious memories
Allow them to linger in your mind.
Don’t count the years but count the blessings As the old hymn says, one by one
And so many more you’ll uncover
Before the setting of the sun.
Remember you had a Shepherd to guide you
Empower and strengthen you in each test
So come what may throughout the day
Every change will be one for the best.
Yes, it’s grand to report on the sunny hours
Though the garden no longer glows.
Yet the cold that destroyed so many flowers
Has beautified the crimson rose.
