Lyrics as Poetry

Thank you, God, for times of growing:
ending of childhood, birth of a child.
From generation to generation
you spin the thread, and life goes on.
And the seasons shift, and life moves on
and the wheel goes turning, turning,
and God is old and God is young,
and the song of love goes singing on.

Thank you, God, for times of wonder:
grandchildren’s laughter, grandparent’s love.
From generation to generation
you spin the thread, and life goes on.
And the seasons shift, and life moves on
and the wheel goes turning, turning,
and God is old and God is young,
and the song of love goes singing on.

Thank you, God, for times of ending:
sleeping and parting, saying goodbye.
From generation to generation
you spin the thread, and life goes on.
And the seasons shift, and life moves on
and the wheel goes turning, turning,
and God is old and God is young,
and the song of love goes singing on.
