Thought for Today

And it pleases me to know that--


If when you give the best of your service,
Telling the world that the Savior is come,
Be not dismayed when men don’t believe you,
He’ll understand and say well done.

It suits my hear to know that--

If when you try and fail in your trying,
Hands sore and scarred, from the work you’ve begun,
Just take up your cross, run quickly to meet Him,
He’ll understand and say well done.

Oh when I come, to the end of my journey,
Weary of life, and the battle is won,
Carrying the staff, and cross of redemption,
He’ll understand and say Well Done!

If you’re faithful, you may seem to fail--but there’s no way to lose. You’re a winner--in life and in death.


Rev. Dr. William Augustus Jones Jr.
