The older I become, the younger I grow
As the years pile up; the less I know
Would love to say I always try my very best
Instead, I drowned in temptation's waters; I didn't always ride the crest
And I've stood the test-- survived the flames when everything around me turned to ashes
The greatest thing I will ever do is lift Your Name high above the masses!!
And the crashes? I've hit the ground more than a plane hits the runway
But I'm thankful I've always rose again like a congregation on a Sunday!
While Love holds me Grace covers me like a turtle's shell
I'm not scared of the heat in the kitchen when I've already walked through hell
Storms teach you in ways smooth waters simply are unable
Though the waves overcome the shore; the foundation remains stable
Am I able? I'm of worth though sometimes I act like a pauper
I've failed God Time After Time just call me Cyndi Lauper
But no matter how many battles I've lost; I know the war is WON!!
God turned a pauper into a prince all by sending His only Son!
When I think of the Glory to come; these trials seem so very mild
Breath left my Savior's lungs; And in that moment the orphan became reconciled
