Twenty (Eight) Summers

This is your song of the day. They’re usually pretty timely.

I don’t know what the future holds
Or what lies beyond my horizon
The years ahead are just out of sight
Well, I think sometimes that you hide them
So that I walk by faith, not sight
So that I take Your hand holding tight

Through 26 summers and 26 winters
I’ve laughed in the springtime, I’ve cried in the rain
Though I’ve questioned the meaning of some of life’s seasons
It’s true that they’ve left me holding on tighter to You

My one desire for the road ahead
Is that we would walk it together
Friend and King, You’re my everything
May I stay by Your side forever
For when my heart’s afraid, You’re near
Whispering to my soul, “Don’t fear.”

Through 26 summers and 26 winters
I’ve laughed in the springtime, cried in the rain
I’ve questioned the meaning of some of life’s seasons
It’s true that they’ve left me holding on tighter to You.

I will trust in You alone
For you’re the hand that’s leading me home

I’ve spent 26 summers and 26 winters with You
Through all of the seasons and my search for reasons
You’ve carried, You’ve carried me through

I will keep holding on to you.

I am clinging to You, Jesus.
