_ _ _ _ [A] As _ I _ [D] reminisce, _ [Db] think back over [B] my life, _ _ [A] _ [Db] how [C] good the Lord's [Db] been to me.
[F] _ You know, I'm so [Bb] glad that I chose to give Him my heart when I was young.
[Am] _ _ And I'm so glad that I chose to give back to [A] Him the talent _ that He gave [Bb] to me.
There _ wasn't a lot of training in it [Ebm] because I came from a home with very poor parents
_ that wasn't able to _ help [B] me _ _ get voice lessons and not a whole lot of piano lessons.
It was just that I loved it so much that I worked at it.
_ And just think, my hobby [Bb] _ became the way that [A] I've made my living all my life.
And as I talk to [Gb] you today, I'd like to say if you have [Db] aspirations
and if you would like to be [C] a gospel singer, [Bb] if you would like to [D] be a gospel [Eb] pianist,
you can be.
You can be what you want to [A] be.
[Gb] But it takes a lot of study, takes [A] a lot of practice, [Bm] _ and you really have to hang with it.
But if you [B] want to [Bb] do it, _
[A] _ _ [F] _ [Gb] always [D] seek first the kingdom of heaven
and all other things [C] will be added [D] unto it.
[A] _ [D] That's [Eb] really the way I [Bb] feel, [Db] Larry.
I just feel [D] like that if we give our whole time and our whole life [Db] _ completely over to the Lord,
He will [C] bless us for that.
[A] _
[Dbm] And so [B] at [F] _ [Eb] 75 years of [D] age, you know, time has made a [Bm] change in [B] me.
There [D] was a time [Db] when my hands didn't [C] tremble when I [Eb] played the piano, but now I have problems.
But I haven't [D] let that [Eb] get me down yet.
I [Gb] still keep going.
_ But _ _ life is [Eb] a great joy, a [B] great joy when you [Gb] know the Lord,
give Him all your talent, and stay close to Him.
[Bb] Don't walk far off.
Walk [C] really, really close.
In fact, I [Bm] just think I'll play a tune that says,
Just a Closer Walk with Thee.
