Your name may not appear down here, in this world’s Hall of Fame,
in fact you may be so utterly unknown that no one hears your name.
This world’s hall of fame is only good, as long as time shall be,
but keep in mind “God’s Hall of Fame” is for all Eternity.
To have your name inscribed up there, is greater, yes, by far,
than all the halls of fame down here, though every man be made star.
The crowds on earth, they soon forget, the heroes of the past,
they cheer like mad until you fall; and that’s how long you last.
But God, He never does forget, and in His “Hall of Fame”
you are inscribed for just believing on his Son’s name.
By comparison this worlds treasure are so dreadfully tame,
next to just one minute strolling on Heaven’s lane.
I tell you friend, I wouldn’t trade my name – however small,
that’s written there, beyond the stars, in that celestial hall –
for every famous name on earth, or all the glory that they share.
I’d rather be an unknown down here, and have my name up there.
