Hidden Secrets

Psalm 78:2-4

We utter hidden things, things from of old,
What we heard and know, as well as told;
We need not hide them from our children,
Passing it on, telling the next generation;
Praiseworthy deeds achieved by the Lord,
With power and wonders being our reward.
When your life on earth is over and done,
What do you want to show you had won?
Are you leaving behind memorable legacy?
Maybe a notorious trail of illegitimacy?
Will they recall you as loving and caring?
Or thoughts of you being bold and daring?
Maybe some illness that you found a cure,
An uncharted island you went to explore;
Maybe remembered for a crafty cunning,
Or that you were just a good for nothing;
No matter what you do in your profession,
You will leave a very lasting impression;
Even hidden secrets you will leave behind,
God will make sure that someone will find.
