NEVER GROW OLD

Yes, this poor body has aches and pains,
But my mind, heart and soul are still bold.
I’ve fixed my gaze on Christ Jesus, my Love!
And that’s why my spirit will never grow old.

Thinking thoughts positive, not pessimistic,
Keeps my mind focused His Word to behold.
I’ve fixed my gaze on Christ Jesus, my Strength,
And that’s why my spirit will never grow old.

The sweetest of joy keeps flooding my being,
A merry heart brings real healing, I’m told.
I’ve fixed my gaze on Christ Jesus, my Joy,
And that’s why my spirit will never grow old.

My arms open wide with a loving embrace
My soul’s full of love, it will not be cold!
I’ve fixed my gaze on Christ Jesus, my Source,
And that’s why my spirit will never grow old.

New birth has made me a princess! What joy!
I’ll live forever! I’ll walk streets of gold!
I’ve fixed my gaze on Christ Jesus, my King!
And that’s why my spirit will never grow old.
