Faithful To The Cross

some follow after fortune and fame
so when their gone the world will remember their name
but i am learning what matters most can’t be held in my hands
and that riches aren’t the measure of the worth of a man
it’s found in being…
faithful to the cross, faithful to his call
laying down my life, surrendering my all
forgetting what’s behind me and counting it as loss
faithful to the finish, faithful to the cross.
i want to know i ran my race, that i fought the faith and kept the faith
and when at last i stand before the throne,
i want to hear him say, «well done.»
that my heavenly father would be proud of this son
so may my life be…
so let this be the legacy for those who follow after me…
i was faithful…
