Everybody gets old, or that's what I'm told,  
With more miles behind me than ahead to behold.  
I should look ahead, for the journey's not done,  
And prepare my heart for the rising of the sun.  

I pray that my steps will find the right way,  
Guided by faith as I walk through each day.  
May wisdom be with me, as time takes its toll,  
For everybody gets old, but peace fills the soul.  

The road may be winding, the nights may grow cold,  
But I trust in the promise that love never folds.  
So, I'll keep pressing on, with hope as my guide,  
For the future is bright, with the Lord by my side.  

And when the day comes that my journey must cease,  
I pray that I find a sweet, eternal peace.  
Everybody gets old, that's what I've been told,  
But with grace, I'll embrace it, and let the story unfold.
