Lyrics to Twenty-Six Summers

“I don’t know what the future holds

or what lies beyond my horizon

the years ahead are just out of sight

well, I think sometimes that You hide them

so that I’ll walk by faith not sight

so that I’ll take Your hand, holding tight



through twenty-six summers

and twenty-six winters

I’ve laughed in the springtime

I’ve cried in the rain

though I’ve questioned the meaning

of some of life’s seasons

it’s true that they’ve left me holding on

tighter to You



my one desire for the road ahead

is that we would walk it together

Friend and King, You’re my everything

may I stay by Your side forever

for when my heart’s afraid, You’re near

whispering to my soul, ‘don’t fear’



and I will trust in You alone

for You’re the hand leading me home

leading me home..



I’ve spent twenty-six summers

and twenty-six winters with You

through all of the seasons

and my search for reasons

You’ve carried me through

I will keep holding on to You…”
