I FINISHED EARL Y
I had a lot to do,
More than some of you.
But, yet you wonder why I rest,
I finished early.
I started on time.
Even though the choice wasn't mine;
And I put in a full days work but,
I finished early.
I thought at first the road was long,
But I just asked the Lord to Keep me strong.
And step by step I ran the race,
I just finished early.
I'm not a quitter my friend,
I kept on fighting until the end.
And the only thing I can say is,
I finished early.
By the measure of man's mind
And not my God's own time
Do some of you look at the years,
I finished early.
But with God, it count not at all
How long, how brief, how great, how small.
But He looks for a ready heart.
Even if you finish early.
