[verse]
My breath is weak, my heart is slow
The weight of years has shaped me so
Still in my chest a song remains
I sing it now and speak your name

[verse]
I’m worn by time that pulls me on
By days too long, by nights undone
Still every prayer I cannot say
I trust the waves [song] will find their [its] way

[chorus]
Let me walk by your side in the valley
Let me drink from your fountain of life
Let me see your light come shining
Let me rest from my sorrow and strife

[verse]
When age grows heavy on my way
And every step begins to sway
I lay my sorrow gently down
And turn to you, I’m homeward bound

[chorus]
Let me sail by your side on the ocean
Let me cross to that far-off shore
Let me see your light come shining
Let me rest in your arms - evermore
Let me rest in your arms - evermore.....
