: When My Time Has Run Out by Debi Pick Marquette
    Question Contest Winner 


At the end of the day, do I know that I've done

Everything that I could, not to hurt anyone  

Did I gossip at all, would my parents be proud

Have I held onto hurt, more than should be allowed



Did I welcome someone, try to show them the ropes

Or just think of myself, try to crush all their hopes

When I saw souls were lost, did I help them to find

Did I do all I could, to help their peace of mind




The temptation is high, I don't have what it takes

I'm so thankful Jesus, died for all my mistakes

Did I let the anger, make me hateful and mean

Did I choose forgiveness, try to wipe the slate clean




Have I given enough, where I most need to give

Have I lived in a way, that I know I should live

Do I give compassion, to those needing the love

Have I prayed when I should,  to my Lord up above



I try hard not to judge, I know it's not my place

I just can't be removed from His Sweet loving Grace

Have I been good enough, am I still at a loss

Do I fully accept what He did on the cross



When it's all said and done, has my name been engraved

So when I leave this earth,  will I know I've been saved

When I look at my life, see what it’s been about

Do I koow where I’ll be,  when my time has run out
