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...
just came back frm "prayer for nations" prayer mtg... and i just want to say.. i dunno how to praise! i recalled on friday how i had wanted to praise the Lord, wanted to ask the group to praise the Lord, to lead them to praise Him..(i was the worship leader last friday).. but i just come. and hw can i when i dun even noe who to? ... i guess is the passive state of me.. my self-conscious that held me back. that duno how to praise even properly in front of the Lord. how i have wanted to shout to Him on top of my lungs, with all my strength, with all of my heart.. but.. self-conscious always held me back.. sighz..i have always wanted to be like David who danced to the Lord and said that He will be even more undignified than this. but i hv never succeeded..or maybe with the encouragement of a few who did it together with me, yes.. but me alone, no... the self in me is so great. i am discouraged in a way..but strangely, this time, it din get to me too badly... i noe there are still so many things abt me that is not perfect.. but i will press on.. and press in!... with the grace and strength of my Master.. the Perfector and Finisher of our faith! Amen!
