SONG 39
Make a Good Name With God
-
1. Throughout our lifetime, We want to use each day
To make a good name And all God’s laws obey.
If in Jehovah’s sight We strive to do what’s right,
Then we will please him, To his delight.
-
2. This world may cause us To try to make a name,
To seek its favor, To bask in its acclaim.
But that is vanity, For if its friend we’ll be,
Jehovah’s favor, We will not see.
-
3. In God’s remembrance, We want our name to be
And have a good name For all eternity.
On him we can depend, So we his truth defend
And keep our good name Down to the end.
(See also Gen. 11:4; Prov. 22:1; Mal. 3:16; Rev. 20:15.)
