AS
I LOOK
BACK ON
MY LIFE
I've oft
desired
a video
of
scenes
throughout
my life;
Those
happy,
carefree
days of
youth,
devoid
of toil
and
strife.
I'd like
to
capture
moments
when I
felt
just
like a
belle,
And
seemed
to be a
winner,
for my
life was
going
well.
I long
to see
that
happy
time
when as
a
blushing
bride,
I
pledged
to love
and
honor,
with my
sweetheart
at my
side.
I'd look
at all
the
memories
my
children
gave to
me,
And all
those
precious
baby
days,
I'd like
again to
see.
But I
would
leave
out
times
I've
sinned,
and each
unfinished
test,
And all
the
times
I've
grieved
my Lord,
and
failed
to do my
best.
I'd not
include
the
sorrows
and the
sickness
that
I've
known,
Or all
the
tears
and
heartaches
when
I've
felt so
all
alone.
But as I
look in
retrospect
at times
of
misery,
And all
the sad
unhappy
days
that
formed
life's
canopy,
I
realize
that
those
were
times
when I
felt
faith
restored,
When in
my
weakness
I grew
strong
by
leaning
on the
Lord.
If I had
known no
problems
I might
not have
known
God's
care,
Or felt
the need
to
linger
close in
fellowship
and
prayer.
So when
I look
back on
my life,
I'll
thank
God for
each day
When
life was
sweet
and
beautiful,
with
troubles
far
away.
But I
will
also
thank
Him for
the sad
times
I've
been
through,
Because
they
helped
me learn
to
trust,
and see
what God
could
do.
