Why is the pull of this world so strong?
I am a citizen of heaven, that’s where I belong
To be known down here doesn’t carry much worth
Our time is fleeting on this place called earth

One thinks it so grand to have money and fame
Why does it matter that people know your name?
Our search for significance is never wrong
God put in us this desire to connect and belong

I want to be known up in heaven above
That I carried out my duties in faithfulness and love
The only thing of worth that I long to hear
Is the Lord say, “Well done,” as heaven draws near

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 – “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.”

Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Ecclesiastes 2, 3, 5, 12
