YOUR ACCOUNTING, by                    
First Line: If you've walked with wisdom - known the way
Last Line: You've done god's work -- you'll get god's pay!
Subject(s): God; Judgment Day; End Of The World; Doomsday; Fall Of Man


If you've walked with Wisdom -- known the way,
Of this my friend, you're sure --
That when you come to The Great Day
Naught else but Justice can endure;
For this we know -- let come what may --
Who does God's work, will get God's pay.

So after all 'tis well to share
This world as best we may,
Life's choicest gifts and blessings rare;
We've such a little while to stay;
Then ne'er forget -- let come what may --
Who does God's work, must get God's pay.

If you've learned of better things than clay,
If your soul has looked above,
If you've walked the paths of Virtue's way,
If you've scattered naught but Love,
Your sure reward on your Great Day --
You've done God's work -- You'll get God's Pay!
