How Then Shall You Remember Me

HOW THEN SHALL YOU REMEMBER ME As I saunter through this life Knowing that today I am but tomorrow I shall not be…. I halt and ponder… How those after me shall remember I was. That is why I determine to live like a saint That that is not given me I shall not take Another man’s property I shall not covet My life shall be simple and my soul shall not be defiled That when I stand before my creator my soul shall be pure If the rest be corrupt I shall not be You shall remember me by my straight deeds You shall know that among us dwelt a man pure at heart A man whose ways could not be corrupted; A man who truly was righteous, So when you see me in the world next… You shall know my place at the table of saints I deserve.
