Growing up Today

I woke up this morning

You gave me one more day

To be in your service

I don’t know what to say

 

You give me your love

In various different ways

Sometimes I fail you

But your love always stays

 

Not many people in our world

Stay off drugs and alcohol

Not many can pass a drug test

That pretty much says it all

 

When I look at the young ones

Who are growing up this way

It scares me to think

They’re gonna be in charge someday

 

Your love will sustain me

No matter what takes place

So many of the young ones

Really need Your grace

 

So Lord I’m asking you

To help them more than me

Because I know you very well

And they really need to see

 

It’s not like I am perfect

Not in the very least

But I’m afraid a lot of them

Don’t know you exist

 

Please show them who you are Lord

So they may know your peace

And give them help God

So they can have your release
