On That Day.

Looking back from the future to now,

I don't want to leave with too much regrets,

Of things undone,

And words unsaid,

Too ashamed to stand in front of You,

On that day.

Looking back to tomorrow and a little more,

I want to remember that there was something I was fighting for,

I gave my whole heart, I gave it my all,

Whether to succeed or fail,

I fulfilled my call.

Looking back to 20 years from now,

I hope I see fruits, from the seeds I have sown,

In these flocks of sheep, though none are my own,

At least, I pray,

That I too, will produce Your fruit.

And when my hair turns grey,

And my voice a sour tune,

May I still please You,

With the song of my youth,

Living according to Your Word,

Finding the lost, loving the hurt.

And on that day,

I wonder what I'd say,

"Finally",

Or "Please not me".

Though even more curious am I,

Of what You would say,

On that day.
