When I've Grown Old

When I've grown old,

This I've learned To trust only a few Choose whom to befriend. When I've grown old, This I've realized, My fate I don't hold Plans don't always materialize. When I've grown old, This I've known God hates the proud, He places them low. When I've grown old, This I've recognized The mistakes of my youth Can make me be wise. When I've grown old, This I've accepted To keep moving forward Is the way to succeed. When I've grown old, This I've seen, That this life I walk Is not about me. When I've grown old, This I've perceived Jesus, my Savior and Lord Is all I ever need.
