New Fears





New Fears

 

Fears of a young man...growing old.

 

Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

 

Slowly forgetting…the old, old stories.

 

Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.

 

My memories gone…are you still my friend?

 

Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.

 

Wandering inside dementia…know that I stand on His promises.

 

Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee.

 

New fears…old promises…eternal God.

 

The Lord will fight for you…you need only to be still.
