YOU'VE ADDED ANOTHER YEAR!

YOU’VE ADDED ANOTHER YEAR!
by Curtis Dean

So now you’ve added another year,
There’s no need to shed a single tear;
But rejoice in the Lord, He cares for you,
That’s why He kept you the whole year through!

If He did it before, He can do it again,
He’s there to protect, to shield and defend;
So trust Him and keep Him as your dearest friend,
And ev’n when you’re ill, He can help you to mend!

Oh yes, times get rough and sometimes so tough,
But you’ll make it through, if you’ve got the right stuff,
And that comes from His love; it’s really enough,
So, don’t let the Devil succeed with his bluff!

Just keep on going and serving the Lord,
Rely on His Word, it’s your shield and your sword.
Until the day that He calls you home,
Don’t let your footsteps away from Him roam!

For someday in Glory we'll see His dear face,
And that's all because of His marvelous grace.
So, birthdays we count until that wonderful day,
When at last we'll be home with Him forever to stay!
