The First Thing I Remember When The World Ends

When the world ends 
the first thing I will remember 
is that I can't take my riches with me
my awards and accolades will all evaporate
every title I had ever held in my lifetime
whether it is being a daughter, a sister,
a tourguide, an ambassador or a leader
will be eradicated like thistles in a garden
but recieving the Crown of Life 
and being at home with my Lord 
will be my greatest reward 
sweeter than anything this world 
has ever offered to me
