When I stand before the throne of grace, what will Jesus say of me?
Will He tell of my faithfulness to follow His command?
Will He tell of all the joy I gave and to whom I lent a hand?
Will He show the Father all the folks I helped to guide in His way?
Will He tell of seeds that I tried to plant in souls every day?
Will He testify of me as I testified of Him?
Will He know my name and say with joy "Well done, child, enter in!"?

When I stand before the throne of grace, what will Jesus say of me?
Will He tell of all my arrogance, my selfishness and sin?
Will He tell of all the people who I turned away from Him?
Will He remember how busy I was,- how I never put Him first?
Will He show me all the faces of the people whom I've hurt?
Will He tell of opportunities missed while busily "serving Him?"
Will He be ashamed to call my name and let me enter in?

When I stand before the throne of grace, what will Jesus say of me?
"Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, Him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, Him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven." Matthew 10:32-33
It is a sobering verse. I am saved, but it had never occurred to me what Jesus would say of me before the Father. If I died tonight, what would Jesus say of me? The folks at my funeral may say many nice things, but in a few years, they will forget who I was. What really matters is what God thinks of me. Did I accomplish His goals? Did I count for His kingdom?
