Awards Day

by Frank W. Smith, Vancouver, B.C., Canada | Category: General | Apr 1996

One day I shall look on the face of my Lord,

When I come to the end of life's way,

And regarding my service for Him here on earth

I shall hear what He has to say.

I vowed true allegiance in service to Him

When I answered His 'Come unto Me',

And I heard Him request me to take on His yoke

Thus to learn His disciple to be.

I know I have faltered and stumbled at times

When the going was rough, and uphill,

But my Lord understands, and my frailty He knows,

And I know that He loves me still.

He sees all my efforts, though feeble they are,

To please and to satisfy Him.

It has little to do with my learning and gift,

But my love and devotion to Him.

It is not doing great things in other men's eyes,

But the triumphs and victories won

Over selfish ambition, temptation, and doubt,

That will earn me the Master's 'Well done!'
