I AM AS STRONG THIS DAY
To be strong at forty years of age is not remarkable;
But to be “as strong” at eighty-five; that is incredible!
How does a person maintain such obvious might?
He was lucid in his mind; he possessed deep insight!
He had “wholly followed the Lord my God,” he said;
He had earlier determined he would never be afraid.
There may be great obstacles to face along the way;
Even if there were giant-foes; he would just pray!
His strength was a gift from God that he had treasured;
Each year would see him walk with God in faith assured.
He had to do his part in keeping himself fit and strong;
This was not impossible for God was beside him all along!
He would not choose the path of ease even though he was old;
Faith in the Lord God and in His promises made him ever bold.
He was prepared to climb high mountains trusting the Lord;
He would conquer all enemies in the mighty name of God!
