Suzanne

I’ve walked a long road, sixty-five years deep

Through the valleys of sorrow and mountains steep

I know I’m a flawed woman, I’ve stumbled in the clay

But I kept on moving, praying through the gray

I always try to lend a hand to a neighbor in need

Offering forgiveness, planting a faithful seed

So I went down to the water to wash it all away

Returning to my Father on a hallelujah day

Praising the name of Jesus, lifting up my hands

A resilient believer, trusting where He stands

At sixty-five years old, my spirit is made new

Lord, I’m giving all of Suzanne right back to You

I count up my treasures, the moments I hold dear

The birth of my two children brought God's glory near

Oh, I really miss my Mama, wish she could see me now

And I miss my sweet nephew, the grief still weighs me down

Passed away at twenty-three, he’d pop up with a smile

I’d give anything to share a room with him a while

But I went down to the water to wash it all away

Returning to my Father on a hallelujah day

Praising the name of Jesus, lifting up my hands

A resilient believer, trusting where He stands

At sixty-five years old, my spirit is made new

Lord, I’m giving all of Suzanne right back to You

Every tear I’ve cried, every loss I’ve ever known

Just led me right back to the Father's holy throne

I’m stepping out the river, leaving the pain behind

With a heart full of worship and a peaceful state of mind

Yes, I went down to the water to wash it all away

Returning to my Father on a hallelujah day

Praising the name of Jesus, lifting up my hands

A resilient believer, trusting where He stands

At sixty-five years old, my spirit is made new

Lord, I’m giving all of Suzanne right back to You
