I Want To Get Paid!

HAPPY 

SABBATH!

I Want To Get Paid!

I don’t know about you but

I want to get paid!

Not with black pennies

But with gold crowns

Not with dread trumpets

But with Angel songs

Not with the tare bundles

But with the Glory Throng!

I want to get paid!

I want to get paid!

And I’m going to the Judge

Who will ensure

That that which I get

Is truly commensurate

With my labor of love and 

My faithfulness!

I want to get paid!

I’ve loved, and I’ve labored

Counselled with, and exemplified

The life of a true believer -

Christ’s cross I’ve not denied!

I’ve ministered to the miserly, the miserable, the cross

To those that were little children

And to those who suffered loss!

I’ve cared for the contemptuous and

I’ve been a good steward to the “Boss”

Who cheats me of my wages

For worldly work that pays dross!

 I gave to the ungrateful and

I blessed the banished thief

I loved and I labored on

Often without relief!

I’ve tried to be a light

To those who could not agree

That Jesus is the answer

The Truth, the Life, the Way

And kept to my position

No matter what they’d say!

And though the road has been long

I’ve held fast to my conviction!

In me is found no dereliction!

I love His people!

I fast!

 I pray!

My Jesus is coming and

In my heart is the song:

I’m about to get paid!

Dear Ones: 

This is no boast! God’s people are privileged to know what their payment is, and when/where it will be delivered, and to joyfully look forward to that Great Day! 

I encourage us all to hold fast to our profession in faith and in faithfulness, and to keep our prize in constant view!

John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
