What Matters Most

If when I reach the end and my life is done,                                                                                                             And I find that silver and gold have I none,

And my Master welcomes me to my new home,                                                                                                               
I shall be embraced with eternal joys at His throne.

I hasten to say with joy to share                                                                                                                                   What it is that matters most to me.

I have none, but if I did have investments                                                                                                                     In stocks, I would count it all loss compared

To that which matters so much more to me.                                                                                                                  If the equity in my house should melt and burn,

It would be a material loss, but mere rubbish in                                                                                                   Comparison to my blessed home of love and family.

With all sincerity, the cause of Christ and His Church,                                                                                               My personal relationship with The Lord,  my wife and                                                                                           

Family members are above all else what matters most to me.                                                                          From the deepest portals of my heart, my prayer is thus: If ever                                                       

Called upon to pay the ultimate price in sacrifice for those things               That matter most to me, may I be found faithful to the death.
