I believe in evolution – the changing of a heart, the deepening of the soul, the renewing of the mind. I hope that as I look back over my life every 5 or 10 years there will be at least some evidence that I have grown more compassionate, more thankful, more faithful, more true, maybe even a bit wiser etc., etc., etc…

GROWING OLDER
Words & Music by Michael Webb

How time flies
Quicker than the blink of an eye
The earth’s gone round the sun another time
And the bears have bedded down again for the night
Countless stars
Have been born or burned out all their light
And the geese have all flown south two thousand times
Since You, Yourself, went up into the sky
And You’re coming back
You’re coming back

Am I growing wiser?
Am I growing kinder?
Does love mark my life?
And for the cause of Christ
Am I growing bolder?
Am I becoming more faithful?
Am I growing more grateful?
Am I looking more like You?
Am I growing in the truth?
Or am I just growing older?

As my life
Passes right before these tired eyes
I think about a not too distant time
When, Jesus, You’ll come back for Your bride
And it won’t be long
And Lord, I hope it won’t be long

Am I growing truer?
Am I growing holier?
Am I dying to my sin?
And living more for Him?
Am I growing closer?
Am I becoming more worshipful?
Am I growing more merciful?
Am I looking more like You?
Am I growing in Your truth?
Or am I just growing older?
