I have been young And now I'm old; The days ordained from God's book I'm living out As they unfold. Through years of plenty And years of lean So many days of my life... and yet This I've never seen: The righteous forsaken His children begging bread! For those who trust in the LORD and do good They shall be fed! Wait on the LORD and keep His way! And He shall exalt thee to inherit The land someday! Blessed be the humble! Blessed be the meek! For they shall inherit the earth! Words & Music: Jerry Dan Deutschendorf
