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...
i have been busy for the past few mths... work, mission trip, guitar club, ministry, etc... so busy that i dun hv enuf sleep almost everyday. not that i complained coz i got good sleep coz i will be so tired that i will just plonk within a few minutes. the only thing that wasnt good was that my quiet time with the Lord suffered coz of the tiredness. after being busy for these few mths, surprisingly, i manage to get SO MUCH rest on thursday! and even not very used to it. and it happened today again that there wasnt much thing for me to do again. i din go to class today and i just went to school for a while to settle something. well..and there wasnt much things for me to do coz they are all settled. the liasing with companies and proposals, they are all done. and most things have also been delegated to jon and eliz.. thanks to the both of them. i reali appreciate things done on their own initiative without me asking them to do. heh.. :D
anyway, wat was my point? i just reflected just now and realised coz i have been slogging for the last few months, my body cldnt get used to "nothing to do", and in my mind, i keep thinking that i have a lot of things to do, but with more reflections, i realised, hey, i got nothing much to do liao lei since most things are settled! hallelujah! praise the Lord! think now i can start doing my own stuff..like study! and clean up my room!! and of coz, spend more quality time with the Lord Himself! havent finish the Bible study i started this afternoon when eliz ask me if im going to sch...
well, now my worry now is also the guitar club. where can i find my successor..to pass this baton to. i nd someone with the same vision. and up till now i have found no one with this burden for the school. reali, it defeats the whole purpose of setting this club up if no one comes to the saving knowledge of God. it will only be nothing but bringing busyness to myself! oh Lord, what You have started, You will indeed bring it to completion!
i jus happened to ask myself this question. or rather i felt this question just pop up in my head - what do u wan to see at the end of this thing?? souls!! my answer is souls! i want souls!! and i want to see the glory of God in the campus!
