What Will He Say To You? Poem by Mary Ryan

When your life is over
Your earthly time is through
In Heaven when you stand before the Lord
What will He say to you?

Will he say, “Well done, my child.
You finished every task.
You did just what I wanted,
And I didn’t have to ask.”

Or will He just be silent?
Disappointed by your life
You claimed Him as your savior
But you never gave your love

Now as you go along each day
Remember what He wants from you.
To show His love to others
And show your love to Him

And then you’ll hear him say, “Well done, my child.
You finished every task.
You did just what I wanted,
And I didn’t have to ask.”
