You are my All

Lord, I no longer have that youthful stride,
Sometimes hobbling with a cane by my side.
Feeling elderly and thinking someone might mock;
Moving slowly and wishing I could turn back the clock.
I remember the days when I was quick as a child;
When nothing stopped me, no matter how high work piled.
Now pain is with me, with such weakness and strain;
But, You, O Lord, have used them to teach me great gain!
As I talk to You and feed on Your grace each day,
You take my burdens upon Yourself to stay.
Your words of relief bring comfort, and console;
Giving great peace that floods my soul!
My afflictions have heightened my faith anew,
As Your mercies flow, and I draw strength from You.
You make my legs sturdy as athletes with fierce force;
You make my bones strong, like Your perfect white horse.
God, I know for sure that if I stand or fall,
With power and great purpose, You ordained it all!
Through pain and affliction, I will always hold fast,
Trusting in You, not focusing in the past.
I long to be carried to Your castle in the sky,
Where I will walk the streets of gold and see You eye to eye!
All my pain and imperfections will forever be erased;
I will glory in Your presence with pure love embraced!

You are my All
