Sixteen,

You are fading away

In a few days

I'll be “seventeen today.”

 

Sixteen,

You are just a number,

But it's one step more

One more wave,

On the sand, on the shore

 

Sixteen,

You are the most beautiful thing

That has ever happened to me

You are my dreams come true

For eternity

 

Sixteen,

New things are coming-

New people, new days,

And in my heart I just want to live

To bring my Jesus praise

 

For You, dearest Jesus,

Created seventeen,

Your grace lights my path

And wipes my slate clean.

 

Life goes fast

Seventeen will soon be gone:

God give me grace

To be forever strong...
