WORK FOR THE LORD<\/p>\n

When I get to Heaven,
\nWhat will I have to give?
\nHad I worked for the Lord,
\nOr for myself did I live?<\/p>\n

That is the big question,
\nWe will all have to face,
\nGod will require it of us,
\nWhen we get to yonder place.<\/p>\n

So work for the Kingdom now,
\nTell them about Jesus’ name,
\nAnd when earthly life ends,
\nYou’ll get honor and not shame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
