AFTER WE ARE GONE<\/p>\n

We all want to be remembered,
\nAfter we are gone,
\nFor some it’s a book written,
\nWhile for others it’s a song.<\/p>\n

But as I look at my own life,
\nWhat stands out very strong,
\nIs God’s Word I have taught,
\nIt remains for so very long.<\/p>\n

So I will keep on preaching,
\nIt’s most important to me,
\nIt may make a difference,
\nWhen I reach Eternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
