Album: Lost Art of Listening
I'm pretty fond of this old face, I take it with me everyplace
You may like it you may not, it's the only one I've got
Forgive me if I overstate the case
You could say I'm ok with this old face
I was just a smooth skinned boy of seventeen
Bought what they were selling sight unseen
It left me black and blue like a sailor's old tattoo
But it taught me what forgiveness really means
This old face has tasted dust of broken dreams
All the lines tell the story of the failures and the glory
God's faithfulness that time cannot erase
It's no Brad Pitt or George Clooney
It's the one the Lord gave to me
It's history reminds me of his grace
If truth be told guess I'm sold on this old face
I've watched it slowly changing through the years
From the laugh lines and the salty stain of tears
It's been weathered by the wind of sadness and of sin
But it shines whenever Heaven's love appears
Yeah, this old face has run the race from there to here
All the lines tell the story of the failures and the glory
God's faithfulness that time cannot erase
It's no Brad Pitt or George Clooney
It's the one the Lord gave to me
It's history reminds me of his grace
Now don't blame me, it came for free this old face
Without a map without a clue the world was wild and new
I learned the long way how to be a man
Then I heard a still small voice, He offered me a choice
From that day I've walked his way the best I can
On this old face you'll trace the touch of Jesus' hand
At times I've thought about a nip and tuck
If you banked on that you're sadly out of luck
It may freshen up your look but it can't rewrite your book
Or save you from the punches you can't duck
So just embrace your old face don't waste a buck
All the lines tell the story of the failures and the glory
God's faithfulness that time cannot erase
It's no Brad Pitt or George Clooney
It's the one the Lord gave to me
It's history reminds me of his grace
In the end I found a friend in this old face
In the end I found a friend in this old face
