Lord help me to live knowing this life is brief,
And to always treat others with love and respect.
Things gained in this world can be snatched like a thief.
It’s the things that endure that I must not neglect.
If my work is for treasure, or fortune, or fame,
If my focus is solely on me and my quest,
Then my life will be empty, and I am to blame.
I pray helping others defines my success.
Lord help me to focus on things that endure.
As I’m blessed to bless others each day as I write,
Help me find what is wise Lord, and truth that is pure.
Help me share what I find Lord, may others see light.
Lord help me each day of this life that I live
To be focused on others and love I can give.
What a blessing! Thank you, John, love it!
Amen! Thank you!
I love the message this piece conveys!! May it be so in all our lives and whatever we do!
