As I approach the Fall-Winter Seasons of my life,
Some day I will see the beautiful 
Beulah Land, Sweet Beulah Land.

Not Growing Old.

They say that I am growing old
I’ve heard them tell it times untold
In language plain and bold
But I'm not growing old.
This frail old shell in which I dwell
Is growing old I know full well,
But I am not the shell.

What if my hair is turning white?
White hair is honorable they say
What if my sight is growing dim?
I still can see to follow Him
Who sacrificed His life for me,
Upon the cross of Calvary.

What should I care if time's old plow
Has left it's furrows on my brow?
Another house not made with hands
Awaits me in the Glory Land.
And though I falter in my walk
I still can tread the narrow way,
I still can watch and sing and pray.

My hearing may not be so keen
As in the past it has been
Still I can hear my Savior say
In voice so soft, "This is the way".
The natural man does what he can
To lengthen out this life's short span,
Who shall perish and return to dust,
As everything in nature must.
The inward man the scriptures say
Is growing stronger every day.

Then how can I be growing old?
When safe within my Savior's fold
'Ere long my soul shall fly away
And leave this tenement of clay.
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize,
I'll meet you on the streets of gold
And prove that I'm not growing old!

John E. Roberts

A Land Where We'll Never Grow Old
 
I have heard of a land on the far away strand,
'Tis a beautiful home of the soul;
Built by Jesus on high, there we never shall die
'Tis a land where we never grow old.

Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where we'll never grow old;
Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where we'll never grow old.
 

The background music now playing is

" Never Grow Old  "
