Time for Change

 

When our hair has turned to silver

And our steps are slowed by years

We must change our style of living -

In some ways we don't endear;

Younger hands must do the planting,

Stronger hearts must run the race;

You and I must love, more dearly,

While we 'wait the Lord's embrace.

　It is time for little diversions,

From our ways of younger years,

Time to live with limitations

Greying years combined with fears;

Younger hands must cut the timber;

Stronger hearts must climb the hill,

You and I must dress, more warmly,

To endure each Winter's chill

We must, also, pray to Jesus

For the comforts of His love

To sustain us and endear us

For Eternity, above;

Younger hands must do the labors;

Stronger hearts must lead the chase;

You and I must love, more dearly,

While we 'wait the Lord's embrace.
