The Measure Of A Life

If a life could be reviewed, what would be the sum of it?
What would be the greatness which to others would bring benefit?
Let us leave an imprint in the lives of those we touch,
To be a light for Jesus to those He loves so much.

Life cannot be measured in the confines of the mind,
But through our service to the Lord are riches left behind.
And these become a a reservoir which can be drawn upon
By many who have known us, even after we are gone.

If a life could be reviewed, what should be the sum of it?
What should be the greatness which to others would bring benefit?
Let our lives be worthy and bring blessing to the Lord.
For this we are created, and in this is great reward.

"Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves."
Psalm 100:3 KJV
