When Heaven's gates were finally closed
and all were safely gathered in
God looked around at all of those
who mingled so loveingly close to Him.Men of honor, Kings and
Queens
Preachers, held in high esteem
Presidents, leaders, men of science
all standing there in His great presence.
The little people stood in awe
of all the greatness that they saw,
and humbly bowed their simple heads,
to hear just what the Father said.
He called a name that no one knew,
and said "I have great love for you.
You represent the silent few
whose service hardly any knew.
You reached in love to those in need,
whose voice no other heart would heed
and stopped amid a busy pace
to wipe the tear drops from their face.
You fed the poor with never a thought
and heard the words the Master taught,
while others sought the world's spot light
you sought to live a servant's life.
And no one gave you great applause,
nor singled you out for grand awards.
Few understood, and few could see
you did it for your love of Me."
And midst the crowd of worlds great men,
He called out women, called out men
who no one knew, yet each one cared
for the love of the Savior these people shared.
And the savior's voice rang clear and loud,
it echoed through the gathering crowd,
they hear it from beginning to end
"Well done my faithful servant, friend."
So if you feel that no one knows
the thoughtful many things you do,
just wait until the end, my friend,
and you"ll hear Him say the same to you.
