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 Debbie Furey July 26, 2022 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
