Best Years to Come

I’ve traded my race for a slower pace,
Jehovah still fills my days with grace.
The lines on my hands show where I’ve been,
And the joy in my heart still shines within.

My step is short, my eyes not clear,
But I feel His promise drawing near.
Though the body fades, the soul still sings,
Of a home prepared by the King of kings.

My best days are still to come,
When Jehovah says, “Well done.”
I’ll keep my joy, I’ll stand strong,
His love’s the reason for my song.

I’ve planted seeds through joyful years,
Watered 'em plenty with laughter and tears.
Now those young sprouts rise up so strong,
They’ll keep on singin’ the old faith song.

I’ve felt the chill of an empty hall,
When friends passed on — I miss them all.
But Paradise awaits, and I know,
Jehovah still loves me as I grow.

My best days are still to come,
When Jehovah says, “Well done.”
I’ll keep my joy, I’ll stand strong,
His love’s the reason for my song.


I used to walk fields from door to door,
Now I pray for folks even more.
If I can’t go far, I’ll still proclaim,
My faithful God by His holy name.

Some days my words come slow and weak,
But joy still dances when I speak.
The spirit’s wind gives strength anew,
And paints my skies in brighter blue.

My best days are still to come,
When Jehovah says, “Well done.”
I’ll keep my joy, I’ll stand strong,
His love’s the reason for my song.

I treasure friends who linger near,
Whose laughter chases doubt and fear.
You lift my heart so tenderly,
Your faith shines bright alongside me.

When the days grow slow and gray,
Jehovah’s hand still lights the way.
His strength renews, His promise stays,
My heart finds joy through brighter days.

My best days are still to come,
When Jehovah says, “Well done.”
I’ll keep my joy, I’ll stand strong,
His love’s the reason for my song.


I’ll thank the ones who lend a hand,
They help me walk, they help me stand.
Their kindness shows Jehovah’s care,
His love is shining everywhere.

I’ll share the lessons time has taught,
The faithful fight my heart has fought.
Young hearts can learn, their faith can grow,
From seeds of truth we’ve come to know.

My best days are still to come,
When Jehovah says, “Well done.”
I’ll keep my joy, I’ll stand strong,
His love’s the reason for my song.

When I am weak, His arms surround,
Strength in His promise I have found.
Old or young, His care’s the same—
Forever we’ll praise His name.

My best days are still to come,
When Jehovah says, “Well done.”
I’ll keep my joy, I’ll stand strong,
His love’s the reason for my song.
My best days are still to come,
When Jehovah says, “Well done.”
I’ll keep my joy, I’ll stand strong,
His love’s the reason for my song.
His love’s the reason for my song.
