In 2022, The Uniting Church in Australia began yearly observance of "Older Persons Sunday". Read more here (and download the worship resource pack!).
Here are a few song suggestions that are particularly appropriate, and could be useful for other situtations where you might want to sing about growing older.
- Online Resource / MV083 / FFS41 Let my spirit always sing (Shirley Murray, New Zealand) Good words about getting old. May be sung to a number of different tunes. A song for those who are aged or infirm. A good song to play in nursing homes, or in congregations with a large proportion of elderly who are wrestling with what it means to live in a body that doesn't do what it used to manage! Lyrics & sheet music.
- TLUS034 When aging takes its toll (Delores Dufner, USA) Excellent words about the process of ageing, our frailty as we age, and God's steadfast love through all of it. Sung to a new, easy to sing tune by Larry Visser.
