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...
im a thinker who think of many things but not a do-er. resulting: all thoughts but no actions. sigh.. thats a bad combi of personality.. coz it only adds up the "to-do-list" in my mind... only to also add up more things and stress to myself. all these unwitting stress. coz things pile up inside my mind. and i dunno how to handle. wat am i thinking of? u might be thinking why dun i just go do those things? one thing, the things that i wanna or have to do are all a clash of my personality. sigh.. that getting out of my comfort zone, the lack of courage and taking that step of faith keeps me whr i am. i think i nd someone to hold on to me! like wat i just watch in the lastest flash cartoon in the donghaeng site. "footprints" - when the mountain seemed higher, i have to follow His footsteps to reach that higher place!
my lecturer says when someone cldnt manage the different selfs, duno which selfs to focus on in him or herself, he or she would become crazy or depress. i think what my lecturer said is true to a certain extent. afterall, psychology is all about the studying of the fallen nature of man, which only focus on SELF. yar, self... self is something we all have to deny. no.. not living in the self denial of reaching nirvana. but denying the fallen self by picking that cross to reveal that true self... that orginal self that the Lord has given to us when He created us. and that is wat we meant by a "new creation". we are all a new creation in Christ. no longer conforming to the world standard. by speech, conduct, behaviour and even thinking.
i was a bit sick these few days, and dun reali can do much things. in the sense of reading. watever readings make no sense to me. and my walk with the Lord... i so wish it will get so much better... doesnt seemed to spend enuf time with my Lord... let me thirst and hunger after Him!
