Mahalia Jackson
Only What You Do for Christ
[Verse 1]
You may build the great cathedrals large or small
You can build the skyscrapers grand and tall
You may conquer all the failures of the past
But only what you do for Christ will only last
[Chorus]
Remember what you do for Christ will only last
Oh, remember only what you do for Christ will last
Only what you do for Him will be counted at the end
Only what you do for Christ will only last
[Verse 2]
You may seek earthly power and fame
And the world may be impressed by your great name
Soon the glory of this life will all be past
And only what you do for Christ will only last
[Chorus]
Remember what you do for Christ will only last
Oh, remember only what you do for Christ will last
Only what you do for Him will be counted in that day
Only what you do for Christ will only, only last
