Life's Record

-Author Unknown

No matter what else you are doing,

From the cradle days through to the end,

You are writing your life's secret story,

Each day sees another page penned.

Each month ends a thirty-page chapter:

Each year means the end of a part-

And never an act is misstated,

Or even one wish of the heart.

Each day when you wake the book opens,

Revealing a page clean and white;

What thoughts and what words and what doings

Will cover its pages by night?

God leaves that to you, you're the writer,

And never a word shall grow dim,

Till the day you write the word "finis,"

And give back your life's book to Him.

Final Words

I don't want my name on a tombstone,

I don't want my name in stained glass,

I just want my name in the Book of Life

'Cause that's the only thing that will last.
