some follow after fortune and fame so when their gone the world will remember their name but i am learning what matters most can't be held in my hands and that riches aren't the measure of the worth of a man it's found in being… faithful to the cross, faithful to his call laying down my life, surrendering my all forgetting what's behind me and counting it as loss faithful to the finish, faithful to the cross. v2 i want to know i ran my race, that i fought the faith and kept the faith and when at last i stand before the throne, i want to hear him say, "well done." that my heavenly father would be proud of this son so may my life be… so let this be the legacy for those who follow after me… i was faithful….
Love this song, but more importantly the message it delivers to the believer to always be faithful to the cross. No matter what the world follows after always know that as a believer we will stand before the throne and what will we hear God say? May we strive to be everything the Lord Jesus Christ commands us to be.
