As Years Go By
by Ken L. Birks
As the
years go by we count our blessings
one by one.
Looking back, we stand in awe with
all God has done.
With our lives in His hands, He
brings forth what is concealed
Many run in circles, chasing
rainbows, while others yield.
Lives yielded bear much fruit with
an eternal weight of glory.
As years
go by many stand in wonder, with
nothing achieved.
With regret in lives so wasted,
nothing counted for or conceived.
Sadness fills the heart with
wonderment of what could have
emerged.
If
only the voice within would’ve been
heard, rather than submerged.
Living for today seemed so enticing
with nothing gained or enlarged.
As years
go by, the more we understand, our
lives are but a vapor
Here today and gone tomorrow, so
little time to make life matter.
In
the eternal weight of glory we
continually yield for a life, so
pure.
The Lord’s will or our will, our
ultimate decisions determine our
destiny
Lives yielded to the Lord’s will are
without regret, treasures stored for
eternity.
Help us,
Lord, to take our eyes off self and
turn to You in all that we do.
Help us see the eternal weight of
your glory as the years make us
anew.
Help us to make our lives count for
something so holy and pure.
Help us come to the end of ourselves
that we find You in all that we
endure.
Help us to be forever grateful in
all that You accomplish in and
through.
