It’s Not a Waste
It’s not a waste to give the Lord
The things He’s given you
To praise His Name and gain reward
That lasts when life is through.
It’s not a waste to serve the One
Who died so you can live,
To tell the glorious things He’s done
And use the strength He’ll give.
It’s not a waste to lay aside
The comforts, wealth, and friends
Of one short life that can’t abide
For one that never ends.
It’s not a waste to scorn the praise
Of those who scorn God’s Name,
To labor in unnoticed ways
That God will see and claim.
It’s not a waste to gladly die
For one who took your place
When heaven waits beyond the sky
For all who win life’s race.
It’s not a waste to go and tell
The way to live above
If one lost soul is saved from hell
And finds the Savior’s love.
It’s not a waste, so give it all
To Jesus while you may,
For soon you’ll hear that trumpet call
And earth will fade away.
