Now that I am older and know my end is near

by Chaplain Anthony Murphy Site Admin

 

Now that I am older and know my end is near
If I repent from my sins and be truly sincere
When I stand in front of God I have nothing to fear
I know that Jesus loves me and to him I am very dear
 
Getting older has many challenges for you and me
The changes are apparent I’m sure you’ll agree.
We look different with wrinkles and I lost my hair
However in heaven I’ll have a new body so I don’t care
 
This is something to look forward to as we grow older
In fact thinking about this only makes me bolder
To live for Christ as we should each and ever day
And work as Christ’s ambassadors in every way.
 
In heaven there is no sickness, sorrow or pain
A perfect healthy body forever is yours to claim
Where you can run, skip and jump just for fun
And in 10,000 years your new life has just begun
