Save Them As Well
Oh, Lord, when it’s time to make your judgment
Please know, in my heart, I’ve tried my best
I wish to therefore be upon your right side
But, please do not take me, forsaking all the rest
You may say I’ve earned that great distinction
To be with You, yes, is the greatest prize
But, I too, know the hearts of others
As I have seen that glow within their human eyes
So when you make your choice and it’s your right, Lord
I only wish for all, never just for me
I pray that then I’ll be there on your right side
And I pray, too, my loved ones are there to see
