Another year older, a year of living in the light of the
Lord, A time of changing, a time of growing, A time of learning to use His
Sword
Maturing more as the days go on, Telling others what Christ has
taught you, Touching hearts as you travel along, Living love - we can see
Him in you.
A miracle is working there in your heart, A new beginning,
He changed you right from the start, And now you know that there is no turning
back, The grace of God you will never lack.
You're a picture of what our
great Redeemer can do, When you walk in His love, you make an excellent
view, You are changing on the inside, it's really plain to see, Like a
stranger to this world - living for eternity, Committed to our Saviour, you
are resting in His hands, He planned your future long ago, before your life
began.
Oh, delight yourself forever in the living Lord, Wait on His
gracious love and receive His Word, Taste and see how good our God is, He is
awe-inspiring and His name is Jesus!
He is your refuge when your times get
tough, His provision will always be enough, Your steps are directed by the
Father of lights, Trust fully in Him, your future is bright.
Shine out,
my friend, and show them the way, Light up the darkness, hold the shadows at
bay, Free the captives, as Christ has freed you, Tell others the wonders of
what our God can do.
Praise God and live a life pleasing to Him, Lift up
your voice and let your heart sing, Seek the Lord's guidance and live in His
will, Come before Jesus and learn to be still.
Though this life seems so
hard and you may fail sometimes, Get on Hind's feet - there are still
mountains to climb, When you reach the highest peak, there will be joy without
end, God will say, "Well done, My servant and friend."
