GOD KNOWS MY NAME
Thank You Lord, with all my heart, that You have died for me,
And You have written down my name for all eternity;
A name unknown within this world - that much is very true;
Though I've not done amazing things - my name is known to You.
----------------
The friends I have may let me down and even let me go;
But Your love lasts forever - Your Word has told me so;
Whilst men just honour beauty - the rich - the strong - the wise,
To them belongs the glory - at least in THEIR own eyes!
----------------
And though it would be tempting to have my name appear
upon some fancy billboard, and loud applause to hear;
Mankind is very fickle and only cares for fame
which doesn't last forever - they'd soon forget my name.
----------------
While few may even know me and I can't seek acclaim,
May I not boast in anything and only praise YOUR Name;
And I would rather have my name remembered, Lord, by You;
Please help me to be faithful in all I say and do.
