Glory of God

Brought into this life free of care
Then you learn as you grow that there’s so much to fear
Take some risks maybe stumble on love
Still we all fall short of the glory of God

So it goes
And it don’t go slow
You blink and the dreams
that you had are now old

So it goes
And before you know
You see that the past
is a small distant glow

Winter winds feel like
Old broken love
How you mightily fought against
All of your flaws
Sometimes hope cracks like
Dry crumbling leaves
And you bury your hurts
So that no one can see
