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...
Art's back! that guy or rather man of God that has cause such reality in my life when he came the other time round. this time, he came back, i felt mellowed, but msg still as authentic as he is. how many ministers now can be lidat? anyway, somehow, the msg he gave left me such a solemnness of heart. actuali, i dun reali fully understand wat he was toking about, but as i was toking to a fren, i realised i do understand wat he has said, maybe not fully. but somehow, that chat cause me to grow to thoughtful and mindful heart.
he spoke on Ps 51. the need for repentance and crying out for mercy from God over our state of sinfulness, not just sin. sins are just to reveal the sinfulness in us. oh, if we understand and know wat a wretched state that we r in, we will all be crying out for mercy! mercy is not just "God spare me", but it requires judgment!
oh, i do not noe how to articulate the very words that im feeling rite now. but that God will change me into His likeness, and into His very own being. not just attending services, conferences or watsoever. but to the very bosom of God Almighty! In Christ!
