Hi Sundancer,

Here is "Only Old and In the Way" by the Stanley Brothers. It's probably more 'bluegrass' than hymn, but still a pretty good reflection of what life is.

God bless!

INTRO: Only Old And In The Way.

(SPOKEN)
You know, many times I sat alone here lately, and
Well, I find my mind kinda wandering back in dreams
Yes, I dream about the days that have already passed and gone
Days that, 'course - will never return

I dream about the days back when we'as a-bringin' up our fam'ly
And I worked hard for 'em - yes - I had to work hard ever' day
Each night the kids would come to me - with their little problems
And their little troubles - each one in his own childish way

But now, well, now I'm gettin' old - kinda feeble
And each one of the children - they've gone their own way
And now most of 'em - I guess they
Well, they have children of their own to worry about

So me, I'm just Old And In The Way.
For many years, things were fine
All the joys of life were mine
Now at last, I hear 'em say
Only Old And In The Way.
