The Lord has ensured He fully empowers us to live the Christian Life here below. One of the many riches of the Church are Biblically inspired music that communicates Bible truths into our hearts.
I’ve searched for information about the original author of the hymn/music below, but I’m not yet able. May the Lord bless the memory of the author of this sacred melody.

To Count for Jesus:
All want their lives to count for something
To leave their mark when life is through
But vain pursuits will count as nothing
Time will erase whate’er we do.
Chorus:
I want my life to count for Jesus
For earthly things will quickly fade
No need to add to worldy riches
I only seek eternal gain.
Inside my heart there burns a question,
What was I placed on earth here for?
It truly was to build a kingdom,
Not of my own but of the Lord’s.
I want my life to count for Jesus
For earthly things will quickly fade
No need to add to worldy riches
I only seek eternal gain.
