Older People
Greater Vision
They grew up in a day of black and white Where wrong was always wrong And right was always right And you never had to wonder come Sunday where they'd be With their sons and daughters in pew number three But now this modern age has them feeling out of touch The church has turned the page, isn't asking them for much There a fortune of knowledge and they've been through the fire And to have them here among us, just think how blessed we are Their wrinkles tell the story of how they made it through They faced the rain and weathered storms, their scars are living proof Their wisdom is a treasure right underneath our steeples We could learn so much if we take the time to listen to older people They can tell us how revival will melt a hardened heart How teardrops on our bibles is always where it starts And when the way seems hopeless the church can still achieve If we'll preach the gospel boldly and stay on our knees I'd rather hear from those who've been there telling how they overcame As they walked the road familiar and did it all in Jesus' name Their wrinkles tell the story of how they made it through They faced the rain and weathered storms, their scars are living proof Their wisdom is a treasure right underneath our steeples We could learn so much if we take the time to listen to older people
