I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
was toking to my fren online.. and realised that i have indeed drifted away from Him... do i always have to crawl back to find my Almighty, to repent, after realising that i am so weak and helpless without Him? God has been gracious.. when can i reali say that " i have been crucified with Christ"?? nevertheless, it is a daily taking up of the cross... and i can only crucify by the Lord, not my own. how can i crucified myself?? " i die daily"... thats wat the apostle paul said. soemthing that so seemd so high up, yet is not unattainable. wat kind of desire do i hvae? a cheap and light thing on my lips? to say that i desire?? wat truely is desire? y am i still lidat this if i reali do desire??
today, reading Art Katz last sermon he came... i again realised that lightness of my words... as if everything seemed so cheap... understand that true life will only flow if i truely experienced and understand everything , every iota of wat i have been saying. if not, they are only empty words. it is so so easy to counsel ppl with the right words, right theology and even the right scriptures. how abt myself??
ok, i need to tok to the Lord.. abt me.. and again repent... in dust and ashes... oh Lord, pls help me. to understand every word i have read in Your book, not as merely words, but to reali acknowledge that they are words that bring life. and can only bring life thru me when i apprehend them. or else, they are merely just nothing but head knowledge... help me, Lord.
