“For me to live is—?” Answer, friend, what is it?
For some, it’s fame;
For others, sin, or wealth or passing pleasure;
Where is man’s heart, there is his one chief
treasure.
It’s well, while there is time, to weigh and
measure
Your life’s real aim;
For in that judgment day when God shall visit
In praise or blame,
“According to their works,” what shall it say—
The answer of your life, in that last day,
For you, will death be loss,
Eternal shame?
Or gain—through Calvary’s cross
And Jesus’ name?
“For me to live is—?”
“To die is—?”
What shall the answer be?
