I counted dollars, while God counted crosses; I counted gains, while God counted losses. I counted my worth, my things gained in store; And He sized me up by the scars that I bore. I counted honors and sought degrees, He counted the hours I spent on my knees. I never knew until one day by the grave How vain are the things that we spend life to save.
