If the morning starts without me and my soul is left to rest

I want to know before I go, in this life I lived my best

I stood for God and lived for His glory

That my life was a reflection of a true Christians story

Though I know I’ve made my series of mistakes

I know through Christ, my sin’s He takes

If a new day begins with the rising sun

I want to know I lived life fully, until my time had come

That I went where He asked and I let Him lead

That He was my hope, everything I did need

That I taught my children of His mercy and God above

Guided them to walk in His grace and love

That the home we built, was more than a house

It was true love, within its walls my kids and my spouse

If tomorrow God’s plans were to rest my soul

Until the day He makes me whole

I want to know that the legacy I leave behind

Was praise be to God, whose so very kind

That anything good in me, was because of Him

His love, His guidance, His grace for my sin

If tomorrow God says my time has come

I want to know I lived it full, His will be done

For time is like an hourglass, running out at its own speed

Though God gives us all, exactly the time we need

The question isn’t how long we have

But did we live it for His behalf

For we know not when that time runs out

Though we are given the choice, on who we make our life about

We mustn’t waste it, we must make haste

Live life with a heart filled with faith

Someday we will all take our last breath

When our last sand falls, did for Him we live it best

When my time does come

Psalm 39:5 NIV

You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure.

Matthew 7:21-23 NIV

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Galatians 2:20 NIV

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Revelation 4:11 NIV

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”

Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Psalm 42:2 NIV

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
