Many times we want to be known by our words

words that are blown away by the wind

as time flows forward

as time is flying away faster than we realize

the dust storm reveals our foundation

what is the foundation we’ve been standing on

all our deeds will be revealed in the end

even the deeds we tried to keep hidden

and what we’ve done will show what we believed in

not that we need to work for salvation

but wisdom is revealed by her children

and a tree shows us what it is

by the fruit it bears

in the same way, truth is seen

in the life it saves

a lie is seen

in the future, it steals

we must look deeper into the well

to see the condition of the soul

living water springs up from within

and changes a world without

while a barren stream

grows nothing but the pain

that comes from the pursuit of selfish gain
