God Loves Me Though I'm Old

                                                                  GOD LOVES ME THOUGH I'M OLD

When I was young and vibrant I had so many friends

Some of them told me they'd be with me to the end

Now I'm old and feeble and my hair is filled with gray

How I could use those friends right now as in my younger days

Some people say I'm senile because my mind will come and go

I just wish somebody would care enough to show

That I am not forgotten and just love me like I am

I know Jesus loves me and I'm his precious lamb

One day soon when Jesus comes and takes me home with him

I'll wear a crown of righteousness embelished with great gems

To God I have been faithful He's always seen me through

That day I hope to hear him say "My child I'm pleased with you

Welcome to my presence, come rest your weary bones

I promise you up here with me you'll never be alone"
