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...
this song was ringing in my mind while in vanguard today. i knew somehow my life was amiss nowadays. my life with the Lord wasnt as good as before. i still pray, i still read the Bible. but somehow that upward call, that progression, that wanting to noe Him more seemed to have cool down quite a bit. things have become like routine or even a duty. or maybe not that extreme, but i would say not as passionate as beofre. to wnat to noe Him so much more and just wanting to spend more time with Him. maybe i reali have been too busy doing thngs and neglecting my walk. or rather.. busy doing nothing.. haa.. irony.. time spend online was so much that i have to cut down. yep, so i have decided to cut down the usage of this monster that is eating up my time. so tmr onwards, i will not come online!
i need to ask the Lord to give me a new heart and a new spirit. and consecrate my life once again to Him! that zeal and passion for Him. to prepare my heart. yar, the preparation we all must have to receive something that is coming - the glory of the Lord! yes, we all must dig deep. the deeper we dig, the more we can contain when Father pour out His Spirit upon us!
on another note, im now thinking of enrolling in a certificate course on counselling. wonder if i shld, or rather if it is the Lord's will for me. i have always have a heart for the problem teens and ppl with problems, maybe coz i can relate to them as i went thru things in my life b4. i dun reali buy into that coz u r from a broken family, u have to be a problematic kid. i believe everyone can have a 2nd chance, or more than a 2nd chance. everyone nds chances rather...
other than that, i will have to endure noises in my house for the nect few days. sigh, my relatives are here again.. a bunch of noisy ppl... and rude and noisy kids.. nto only that, they are not ppl with "clean" hands. i wouldnt count them as good people. they are just some hypocrites and selfish ppl who are out to borrow money from my parents again and again. and when we are in difficulty, they will just run away - i rem wat my uncle said.. not even $100 when they borrowed from them the last time. y did my mum still lend them money in the end noeing they are hypocrites? i have to say... coz we are still one family...
