Ninety nine years old, but
With help, the aged gentleman was
Still able to live at home.
His family called him "Grandpa Great" because
He was about as godly as a person
Could be.
He'd been a devoted pastor, a
Loving husband and father.
His legacy would linger long after he
Was gone.
As his daughter tended to his needs one
Evening, she heard him pray as he knelt
By his bed.
"May tomorrow be my most obedient day
Before You, Lord."
Nearly a century old, the faithful follower of
Jesus was still growing, still seeking to please
His Savior more each day.
His daughter wrote down his meaningful words and
Shared them with me.
I was inspired by Grandpa Great too.
"May tomorrow be my most obedient day
Before You, Lord, my most obedient yet."
