MY NAME
What have I done with the name given to me?
I hope I have honoured it in every degree,
Would my mother be ashamed of who I became,
Have I really upheld the goodness of my name?
I tried to be worth not bring shame to the family,
Although most were poor, were honest as could be,
Am I a worthy host of my parents family tree?
If it is ever dishonoured I hope it is not me.
As a church member, what do I do with Jesus name?
When I pass away will I bow my head in hurt and shame,
Or will I have passed the test, be worthy of the gift of love
That His name brings as I try and strive for heaven above.
Let me stop and think and act so none will be ashamed
Of me but be pleased that I have strived and aimed
To be an example and never let my name or the Master down
So that my name be have for good and earn an heavenly crown.
