"God's Hall of Fame"
by Alf Hutchinson
Your name may not appear down here,
In this world's hall of fame;
You may be so unknown
Few even know your name
Fame and fortune pass you by
And are given to a few;
But if you love and derve the Lord
Then there is good news for you.
This Hall of Fame is only good
As long as time shall be;
But keep in mind, God's Hall of Fame
Is for eternity!
To have your name inscribed up there
Is greater yes by far;
Than all the Halls of Fame down here
And every man made star.
This crowd on earth they soon forget
The heroes of the past;
They cheer like mad until you fall,
And that's how long you last.
But God he never does forget
And in His Hall of Fame;
By just believing in His Son,
Inscribed you'll find your name.
I tell you friend I wouldn't trade
My name however small;
That's written there beyond the stars
In that celestial hall.
For every famous name on earth
Or glory that they share;
I'd rather be an unknown here
And have my name up there.
