What Will You Say?

“What have you to say About your Christian walk?” Our Lord will one day Undoubtedly inquire, Will the account you give Be pleasing to his ears? Or will it perish Like chaff in the fire? Will you be able to say On that special day As you are standing there In front of his throne, “Well Lord, I did Just as you asked And I hope none of it You will bemoan; I fed the hungry, Visited the sick in their bed, Shared my abundance With those who had little, I gave water to the thirsty, A hand to the helpless, And those less fortunate Never did I belittle, I did my best to impart Your gospel to the lost, Even though at times I did not always feel able, And occasionally I invited A stranger into my home, To break bread and Share a meal at my table.” What will you say On that momentous day? To his commands, Have you been observant? Well, as for me, I hope my Lord will decree, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
