Gaither Vocal Band - Thought Gettin' Older

Chorus / Description : Well, I’d have thought for sure Jesus would have come back by now
I still believe some day I’ll see Him riding that big white horse through the clouds
I believe it even more right now than I did when I was a kid
Still, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did

Thought Gettin' Older Lyrics

I thought gettin? older would take a lot longer than it did
It seems like the day before yesterday I was just a little snotty-nosed kid
And that shock of hair that I had back there went away and hid, yeah it did
But, I thought gettin? older would take a lot longer than it did

Well, I?d have thought for sure Jesus would have come back by now
I still believe some day I?ll see Him riding that big white horse through the clouds
I believe it even more right now than I did when I was a kid
Still, I thought gettin? older would take a lot longer than it did

(They thought gettin? older would take a lot longer than it did)
And I hope I have a few more years before they close that lid
Ah, come on, Larry, we?ve had more fun already than I?d really like to admit
Still, I thought gettin? older would take a lot longer
(He thought gettin? older would take a lot longer)
Still, I thought gettin? older would take a lot longer than it did
Oh, come on, Kevin, show us your stuff

I?d have thought by now I?d have more money than I do, like you
Oh, but God knows best, we?ve all been blessed (with more than enough to see us through)
And I wouldn?t trade places with anyone else, heaven and God forbid
Still, I thought gettin? older would take a lot longer than it did

Now, this simple song is just two minutes long
Come on, Larry, who we trying to kid
But it sure seems like it took a lot longer than it did (thank the Lord)
