Fame And Glory
Tell me, do you have a claim to fame?
Accomplished great things in your name?
Did you win a trophy or maybe a metal?
Came out on top after all was settled?
Or, are you just an average Joe?
Someone who has nothing to show.
Does that make you small around others?
You’re in the majority, like many others.
But, there is one way you can shine.
No matter who you are or the time.
Be a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Work at it with all your might.
I know you can do nothing on your own.
Except you’ll have all the power of the throne.
The Holy Spirit will lead the way.
Every minute of your day.
Just cover yourself with the armor of God.
You’ll be protected no matter what odds.
You’ll save souls of which you weren’t aware.
In heaven, you’ll meet them everywhere.
Each soul saved is a stone in your crown.
Hope you have a strong neck. Don’t frown.
Then you will have a claim to fame.
But, all the glory will be in His name.
No praise or glory will go to your head.
For, without the Lord, you would be dead.
