-of Such Things That Remain-

The day is almost over,
What have you laid in store ?
Have you provided for those in need ?
Have you tried to shelter the poor ?

I remember Your words,Lord, when You were here,
"What you've done unto the least of these...."
A life for others with a heart of cheer,
is this not what our Father sees ?

Precious stones and such things that remain,
Do not build with wood, hay or stubble.
Use the days of this life to build in His Name
ministering Life to a world in trouble.
