Thank you, Lord, I have made it,
\nYes, it’s now my seventieth year,
\nYour hand has surely kept me,
\nThough unseen, You are near.<\/p>\n

I have never lacked for anything,
\nNo doubt a token of Your love,
\nYou’ve inspired with Your Word,
\nTruly, it is manna from above.<\/p>\n

While there have been battles,
\nYou gave strength to persevere,
\nAs you led the way before me,
\nWords of comfort filled my ear.<\/p>\n

Now as yet another year begins,
\nHelp me on Your path to remain,
\nFaithfully fulfilling my mission,
\nSo salvation others may gain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
