"GOD'S HALL OF FAME"

Your name may not appear down here
In this world's hall of fame;
In fact, you may be so unknown
That no one knows your name.

The Oscars here may pass you by,
And neon lights of blue;
But if you love and serve the Lord,
Then I have 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.

I tell you, friend, I would not 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!

Oh, yeah. Yes, I'd rather be an unknown here,
And have my name Up There! --
