- YOU HERE BESIDE ME-
So many times I've wondered
Where You would have me go
And then in Silent direction
Somehow, my heart would know.
I know that You are guiding
Each tiny step, I take
But back when I was younger
I'd tend to bolt and break.
But now that I am aging
I hear the whisper in my ear
And with each little whisper,
I'm drawing You so near.
So if this aging body
Is what I must endure,
I'll take all these aches and pains
Your presence to ensure.
And when my knees no longer bend
To get on them in prayer,
I know you'll hear me just as well
As we're talking from my chair.
I love You here beside Me.
And my hand You surely hold,
And I know that You'll still hold it
As we walk those Streets of Gold.
