greatness over fame

Well, this here blog is going to contain whatever I want it to contain. It could be some rambling of what my day was like, it could be a little free-verse poetry, or it could be (part of) a song. I'll decide and you'll read, sound good? Great.

Today, I was doing some thinking of what my pastor talked about at church last night. The thought that was stuck in my head was, "fame is what people recognize you for, greatness is what you actually did." That inspired me to sit down and write what came into my head and this is what was on the paper.


Fame is what you aim for,
greatness is in my crosshair.
You seek power and dominion
while I desire no recognition.
You couldn't live being poor,
and I wouldn't mind being rich.
Popularity rules in your opinion,
but God reigns over my position.
However, a solitary soul
will bring you nothing in the end
But with God inside me
I'm destined for great things.
Anticipating my roll
and what I will transcend.
To Him be all my glory
cause it's greatness that He brings.
