Your name may not appear down here,
In this world’s hall of fame
You may be so unknown
Few even know your name
Fame and fortune pass you by
And are given to a few,
But if you love and serve the Lord
Then there is good news for you.
This Hall of fame is only good
As long as time shall be;
But keep in mind, God’s Hall of fame
Is for eternity!
To have your name inscribed up there
Is greater yes by far
Than all the Halls of Fame down here
And every man made star.
This crowd on earth they soon forget
The heroes of the past,
They cheer like mad until you fall,
And that’s how long you last
But God he never does forget,
And in His Hall of Fame,
By just believing in his Son,
Inscribed you’ll find your name .
I tell you friend I wouldn’t trade
My name however small
That’s written there beyond the stars
In that celestial hall
For every famous name on earth
Or glory that they share;
I’d rather be an unknown here
And have my name up there.
- Alf Hutchison
