Because of Calvary,
John Janney

• Romans 14:12 (ESV)

  12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.

“When I stand at the judgment seat of Christ,

And He shows me His plan for me;

The plan of my life as it might have been,

Had He had His way and I see —

How I blocked Him here and I checked Him there;

And I would not yield my will —

Will there be grief in my Savior’s eyes —

Grief, though He loves me still?

He would have me rich, and I stand there poor,

Stripped of all but His grace,

While memory runs like a hunted thing

Down the paths I cannot retrace.

Then my desolate heart will well nigh break,

With tears that I cannot shed;

I shall cover my face with my empty hands,

I shall bow my uncrowned head.

Lord of the years that are left to me,

I give them to Thy hand;

Take me and break me, mold me to

The pattern Thou hast planned.”

[Martha Snell Nicholson]
