Don’t Grow Another Day Older (Without Jesus)

[Verse]
The older I get, the more people I know growing old
Names on cards, familiar stories told
Time doesn’t shout, it hums real low
You blink your eyes and the years just go

[Verse]
Eat when you're hungry, don’t pretend to be strong
Sleep when you're tired, don’t wait too long
Drink when you're thirsty, today not tomorrow
Cry when you're sad, lay down your sorrow

[Verse]
Laugh when it’s funny, sing the hit song
Dance to the music, dancing’s not wrong
Life is simple if you let it be
Quit the chase and the urgency

[Pre-Chorus]
When we’re young we can be bolder
Running like time’s on our shoulder
“I’ll change when the moment feels right
When the road is safer, while the stars are bright”

[Chorus]
Listen to me, I’m not trying to scare you
We’ve all seen what the years can do
Don’t wait for a sign, don’t wait for closure
Don’t grow another day older

Don’t grow another day older
Without Jesus

[Verse]
The days are a gift, but they’re not guaranteed
You don’t outgrow faith or outlearn it with degrees
A voice calls out in the quiet tonight
Not pushing you forward, just stepping to light

[Verse]
You don’t have to have it all figured out
It’s not required to silence every doubt
Come as you are before time rearranges
All that you thought would never need changing

[Bridge]
So listen to me while you still can choose
Before youth turns into used-tos
Love while your heart is warm, not colder
Don’t grow another day older

[Pre-Chorus]
When we’re young we can be bolder
Running like time’s on our shoulder
“I’ll change when the moment feels right
When the road is safer, while the stars are bright”

[Chorus]
Listen to me, I’m not trying to scare you
We’ve all seen what the years can do
Don’t wait for a sign, don’t wait for closure
Don’t grow another day older
