I look ahead in my life
And see the span of what is left,
The time I may have is hopeful,
The years gone are not in vain-
Mistakes have been made a mixture
Of memories of triumphs, of blame,
But my soul sought comfort in the Highest
So that I am delivered from Shame-
Now that my years I have trodden
Are well the back roads behind,
Though unknown is the time set before me
I shall be known to have lived only mine-
And see the span of what is left,
The time I may have is hopeful,
The years gone are not in vain-
Mistakes have been made a mixture
Of memories of triumphs, of blame,
But my soul sought comfort in the Highest
So that I am delivered from Shame-
Now that my years I have trodden
Are well the back roads behind,
Though unknown is the time set before me
I shall be known to have lived only mine-
