Success

We concern ourselves with the trappings of success,
You're more concerned with devotion and faithfulness,
Salaries, possessions, climbing the ladder and the rest,
Are not Your concern nor are You unduly impressed,
What do You want from a servant wholly devoted to you,
How do you measure success - how do establish value,
You want obedience more than sacrifice just to obey,
You want faithfulness carried out each and every day,
You want devotion a love that springs up deep inside,
You want trust when trials make us want to run and hide,
You measure success so much differently than those around,
Faithfully obey and a devoted heart are where success abounds.
