Whats our worth
not in silver or gold.
Not material things we've gained.
It's the worth of the heart
that grows when it's been pained.
Whats our worth to
the ones left behind.
Our lifes legacy left
will it be kind.
what will our friends
and family have to say.
About how we lived our
life every day.
When we leave this earth
never more to roam.
Will others know our
Heavenly Father took us home.
Will others know as we
passed this way.
That we touched a life
in some little way.
Will they say our heart
was filled with giving.
Did they see in us a
life that was worth living.
Did we live a life
that put others first.
Could they see in us a
hunger and thirst .
Whats our worth do you know?
To ourselves we must be true.
Did our life touch another.
Did we uplift a sister or brother.
Did they watch us pass this way
and not make life better.
Did they see the love of God
in us when life was bitter.
Whats our worth to
our Heavenly Father.
Its how we lived and
loved one another.
Whats our worth do you see!
God gave His only Son
to die for you and me.
He paid the price our sin to free.
Whats our worth only God knows.
His love for us begins to show.
When we go home to be with Him.
Our worth we'll know but not
till then.
