My life's a fleeting moment in the endless march of time,
And days on earth so soon will all be past.
I want to be remembered for the love that I have shown,
And want my legacy of love to last.
I long to share my Jesus with the people that I meet,
And pray that I'll bring honor to His Name.
I'd rather be a faithful servant of my Lord and King,
Than be endowed with beauty, wealth or fame.
I'm building for eternity, and pray my deeds won't be
Wood, hay or stubble that will quickly burn.
But if on sure foundation I use gold and precious stones,
A lasting place in Heaven they will earn.
I hope that when at last I stand before the throne of God,
There will be many others there who'll say,
"I'm here because you shared the love of Christ with me on earth,
And clearly pointed out to me The Way."
Lord, help me to reflect Your love, and like a magnet, draw
Lost, hurting souls to want to know You too.
And when my life is over, may I hear You say, "Well done.
You did your best with what I gave to you."
