Turning Thirty Randy Stonehill

[@samburton2978]

I saw him in concert in Glasgow, Scotland, when my wife turned 30 and I had requested he sing this for her. He did! And I was so happy! This was in the late 80s. Wow! What great memories.

I was 16 when I bought the album, I’m 57 now. I still love to hear the songs but this one is very special ❤

[@carltarajkowski5484]

I remember this song when I was turning 30…..now I’m 72!!!

[@donmcc6573]

Now he's 69, and still touring. I saw him just two days ago.

[@trainguy1017]

I remember hearing this one many years ago and laughing about how "turning 30" wasn't happening for a few more years. The scary part is? That was almost 30 years ago!!! Still love this song and can relate to him even more now!!

Same!

I turn thirty next week and someone shared this song with me. It describes my life oh so well.

May God bless him now as he has blessed so many thru him

[@madhatter734]

I still love the album "until we have wings" especially the live half I never get tired of hearing it.

Years after receiving Christ in 1972, I went to a small coffee house in Norwalk with my wife Lindsey, as we knew Oden Fong (Mustard Seed Faith) and Randy Stonehill were going. There were probably 35 of us in attendance and Randy sang this song "Turning Fifty"......... and we laughed and realized what a great journey it had been..... PTL

I'm turning 30 next month, in a few weeks. This song is not what I thought it was, because of Randy's later stuff. This song is great! 😊👍🏻

I was young when I went with a group from church to see Randy Stonehill. I cant remember if it was the 70's or 80's. My mom bought a tape with this song on it and it has been aprox. 40 years since I have heard it. Thank you!

This song reminds me of when my family was a family. I can't help but cry

[@TECHster21]

My favorite version of this song! My how time flies!

[@pfranklin]

I have the video tape but it is quite warn out. I wish someone would remaster this concert and put the whole thing on youtube.

[@PabloAymerich]

That single verse always brings tears to my eyes. The song is so poignant not because it matches one's life exactly but the journey through life most of us take and end up.

I was around 10 years old when this came out. I'm 40 now.

[@bill2066]

listened to this song all the time when i was turning 30

[@jeffcordes1744]

My wife used to song this in the months before I turned 30.

[@bab008]

Been one of my favorites and played it the day I turned 30 (some time ago).

[@greggillespie4943]

I played this song on my guitar and sang it almost every day for 10 years until that night before I turned 30 now 33 years later, my youngest son is turning 30 tomorrow and I played this song for him. Such good memories and such a great song. Thanks Randy 🎉

I've got a house down by the ocean The rent is not too high And I love to watch the ships come in And hear the seagulls cry And lately I've been taking stock Of all that I've been through Oh, tomorrow is my birthday Feels funny but it's true, I'm turning thirty Now I've got a wife who really loves me She makes my life so sweet And a little baby daughter Who plays games around my feet And my world is very different From lost lazy bachelor years But if I had the chance to go back I'd rather stay right here, turning thirty, I'm turning thirty And I have friends who care about me They're the best I've ever had And they always stood behind me Whenever times got bad And I love to play my music Though the road can be at trial But every time I walk on stage It's worth each dusty mile, turning thirty Yeah now Well, now thirty ain't like fifteen And it's not like twenty-five My back's a little stiff And there're some lines around my eyes But I've still got my energy And I've got most of my hair And I'm not too old to rock 'n roll And I'm not really scared of turning thirty, yeah yeah Oh, the eighties look like tough times The world is turning sour So I'll keep on serving Jesus And await the final hour And though I've often failed Him In these thirty rocky years His mercy brought me this far And his love has dried my years, I'm turning thirty (I'll treasure these years) I'm turning thirty, that's alright (I'll treasure these years) Turning thirty, yeah (I'll treasure these years) I'm turning thirty, yeah yeah yeah

[@NightSky777]

Great video & song, Thanks Pierce for posting!

[@Gorgeous-e9d]

[@MrKeithkerr]

Question for anyone- I had this song on a christian compilation cassette I still remember this was the last song on the second side and I would love to know what else was on that cassette there were several very cool songs from an 18 yr old POV

[@bethanyfiedler-riddle4521]

This song was on his Equator album.

[@jeffcordes1744]

[@GACOMO7660007]

Wow, turning thirty? That meant getting old, when you're only 20? 🙄 Turning 60...now, that is getting old, not to mention 70⚠️ 🚨⏰ ⏳😬
