All My Worth Is Found In You

At the end of my short journey,
I want to measure all my worth,
Freed from all the ceaseless worry,
I want to see my footprints on this earth.

What did I build? What would remain?
What are the most important things?
What if my life was lived in vain?
What if I’ll never grow my wings!?

What if it’s all just dirt and dust,
What if my works are fog and smoke?
What if my golds will turn to rust?
What if my life was just a joke?

It could have been so if weren’t You,
To come along in times of strife,
To wash my sins to make me new,
To give meaning to my life.

At the end of my short journey,
I trust Your words they’re always true,
Covered by Your Grace and Mercy,
All my worth is found in You!
