Older and not yet dead...

Another year has passed by me,

and memories race through my head.

Time moves so much faster now,

but I'm older and not yet dead.



I have thrown out the twigs in my nest,

and laid snakes upon my own bed.

But His grace has now found me, unaware....

for i'm older and not yet dead.



The future unfolds before me,

and no longer is faced with dread.

A new life is now upon me,

Yes, I'm older and not yet dead.



One day I shall stand before Him,

and He will lift up my head.

Eternal life then will be mine....

When I'm younger and finally dead.
