WHAT IS SUCCESS?


What is success, Dear Lord,
It's talked about so much,
And those who try to find it.
Find it very hard to touch.


To some it is position,
To others it's progress.
Or maybe it's prestige,
Or the things that we possess.


But what is your opinion?
What really is success?
Is it just the things of this world,
Or does it have a sacredness.


And then I am reminded,
That life is but a day,
And what we do in this world,
Well someday get the pay.


Oh, I could be a great success,
In everybody's eyes,
But if I make my bed in hell,
It is failure in disguise.


So Lord, I want to follow You.
In every way You lead.
And though I fail in others eyes.
I know in Yours I will succeed.


And when my life on earth is done.
And I behold Your face,
I'll be so glad I followed You.
And leaned upon Your grace.
