I will lay my trophies down
What do they really mean
I have kept them in a closet
Mostly they remain unseen
What has come over me
What has brought this change
I could say its my love of Jesus
It must be somewhere in that range
What is important is my feeling
On what is important in life
To do my best in serving Him
No matter the degree of strife
This is life and only one to live
What will be the outcome of it
What we do to serve others
To me has the most merit
Many are suffering needlessly
Just to meet the needs of others
It grieves me to my central core
Because we are all brothers
So we weep for the children
Who are hungry and have thirst
Their degree of hope is so large
It could almost make them burst
There is power in blood
And Jesus shed His for us
And all that we can give back
Is going to be a worthy plus
We should all be washed in the blood
Let us look for that powerful lamb
We will do that Lamb no harm
Take Him to the river will be our plan
He is the one we live for
Let all of our actions speak by
Staying on this path of goodness
And continue on with this streak
Yes we will trade in our trophies
Somewhere people who know will frown
But to me I am trading them
For the important forever crown
