When I come to the end of my journey
And you think of my days on this earth,
What do I hope you'll remember?
What will my life have been worth?
Don't measure my days by my riches,
My good works, or the friends I have known.
Such things are just temporal treasures,
And won't last past the day I am gone.
The thing I most hope you remember
When I'm swept to my home up above,
Is a life that was changed by His mercy,
And a heart that reflected His love.
I hope that it's HIM you remember
When I come to the end of my days.
And as my life you remember,
I hope that it's HIM you will praise!
MLF 4/17/21
I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith. Philippians 3:7-9
