When it's all been said and done
There is just one thing that matters
Did I do my best to live for truth?
Did I live my life for you?

When it's all been said and done
All my treasures will mean nothing
Only what I have done
For love's rewards
Will stand the test of time

Lord, your mercy is so great
That you look beyond our weakness
That you found purest gold in miry clay
Turning sinners into saints

I will always sing your praise
Here on earth and in heaven after
For you've joined me at my true home

When it's all been said and done
You're my life when life is gone...


what are we living for, my brothers and sisters?

perhaps at the end of our lives, we would look back and realise that all that we have done are things for ourselves. things that we cant bring away.

its probably a bit difficult to think of the day you die when most of us are barely 20.

but i wouldnt want to look back on my life in regret.

realizing my life.. and what i've done.

doesnt really matter.

we rush and make ourselves busy to earn money, to get a car, to get good grades, to buy a house.

but what for?

so we can live in greater comfort? so that we'll be happier?

but wld these really soothe us? really make us happy for long?

i pray for god's grace to be with us.

such that we have enough to not want. and also just enough for us to treasure what we have.

and that we can have to joy and peace of God with us. everyday. every second. and every footstep taken on the journey with God.
