When the blessing gets old
We focus on what we don’t have
We forget what we do have
And Who gave it to us
~
When the blessing gets old
Jealousy and ingratitude set in
And an ungrateful heart
Is a harbour for sin
~
When the blessing gets old
We need to realise
Faithfulness is defined as
Consistent, all the time
~
When the blessing gets old
Just imagine a time
When you didn’t have that blessing
And you were still living your life
~
Blessings had for a while
Tend to eventually lose their shine
Good things for some
Become ordinary over time
~
An aged blessing
Is a sign of His love
His faithfulness and ability
To meet every need from above
~
So for the twenty-something year old blessings
Those ten years or five
Open your mouth and thank Him
For you are alive!
