What's Important

What's important in life

is not found in a public award,

Or is it found in being promoted

by a corporate board.

What's important in life

is what's pleasing to God above,

What He considers worthwhile

and is measured by our love.



What's important in life

is not for public view,

Or will it be recalled

whenever people talk of you.

Life's most important things,

those carrying the most weight,

Are those which God approves

and open Heaven's Gate.
