Michael Webb Growing Older song lyrics

GROWING OLDER

How time flies

Quicker than the blink of an eye

The earth's gone round the sun another time

And the bears have bedded down again for the night

Countless stars

Have been born or burned out all their light

And the geese have all flown south two thousand times

Since You, Yourself, went up into the sky

And You're coming back

You're coming back

Am I growing wiser?

Am I growing kinder?

Does love mark my life?

And for the cause of Christ

Am I growing bolder?

Am I becoming more faithful?

Am I growing more grateful?

Am I looking more like You?

Am I growing in Your truth?

Or am I just growing older?

As my life

Passes right before these tired eyes

I think about a not too distant time

When, Jesus, You'll come back for Your bride

And it won't be long

And Lord, I hope it won't be long

Am I growing truer?

Am I growing holier?

Am I dying to my sin?

And living more for Him?

Am I growing closer?

Am I becoming more worshipful?

Am I growing more merciful?

Am I looking more like You?

Am I growing in Your truth?

Or am I just growing older?
