Lord, now that I am growing old The only treasures I possess Are the talents that you gave me Which bring much happiness You gave me a voice To sing your praises every day Good health and a new knee To kneel on as I pray When I grieved, you urged me To write down all my thoughts And I have chosen to write about The wonders you have wrought And if just one person Is moved by what I write And by my humble words Faith in them ignite And if on Sunday morning They hear my voice loud and true And it touches them So that their faith they renew Then Lord, I’m grateful for these treasures And humbly give them back to you. |

Thanks Mysteria...I've been singing since I was 13 yrs old...started in Church Choir and will end my days still singing there. I was a trained Opera singer, and I still loved singing hymms just as much if not more! I always felt he gave me this talent, to use to spread his love. ![]() Bea |
