Music: Find Us Faithful

Find Us Faithful

Steve Green

We're pilgrims on the journey

Of the narrow road

And those who've gone before us line the way

Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary

Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses

Let us run the race not only for the prize

But as those who've gone before us

Let us leave to those behind us

The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives

CHORUS:

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

May the fire of our devotion light their way

May the footprints that we leave

Lead them to believe

And the lives we live inspire them to obey

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone

And our children sift through all we've left behind

May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover

Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

I must confess I get easily distracted about so many things in life which I thought important but may not necessarily be essential in eternal worldview. Yes, I do set goals and knew what God has commanded me to do. But along the way, I discover new interesting things, hobbies and recreation I  found enjoyable and beneficial as well.  Next thing I know I am spending most of my energy and time on these with a justification that I am not doing anything wrong I am just trying to make the most of my time. But all these time and energy spent, is it even worth it?     

This song is my take away from today's CCF Sunday service. Thank you Lord for reminding me of what's truly valuable in Your eyes and how to be more intentional in making the most of the remaining time You have blessed us in this world.
