Have I Done My Best?
Upon this time I wonder
Have I done my best?
With the talents I've been given
Before I'm laid to rest
Have my doors been opened
Whenever the Saviour knocks?
Have I given my last morsel
With no thought about my lot?
Have I helped a total stranger
And those with less than me?
When oppressed have I knelt
To pray in all humility?
Do I forgive my enemies?
See I'm also filled with sin
Who am I to judge another?
For the Saviour looks within
Have I lifted those on bended knee
Or comforted those who mourn?
Do I strive to offer peace
While the world looks on with scorn?
Have I bridled all my passions?
Do I give to those in need?
Have I paid an honest tithe?
Have I planted righteous seeds?
Do I forgive those who hurt me?
When I offend do I apologize?
Have I stopped to thank the Lord
For all the blessings in my life?
Have I mended broken spirits
Or blessed a wounded soul?
With the message of his gospel
For he surely paid my toll
Do I bare my testimony
Of his gospel dear and true?
Would I give a friend my life?
As he has done for me and you
Have I set a good example?
Do I serve with an honest heart?
All these questions I must answer
Have I truly done my part?
