Song for Dr. Bob

This song was sung at my church in Burlington in December and listening to it I was thinking of Dr Bob and crying and cheering inside because this poem says what I know to be true of him.

Love you all,

Carolyn Gardner

Well Done, My Faithful Servant

~ Pepper Choplin

O Lord, You give us everything we treasure, You give us every talent we possess,

And all that we invest in Your kingdom, we know that You will bless.

We bring our gifts and talents to Your altar and listen to Your Spirit as we pray

Whenever we are true to Your calling, we can almost hear you say:

“Well done, well done, my good and faithful servant.

Well done, well done, feel the pleasure of Your Lord.

Well done, share the joy, the joy of the Lord, Your God.

My good and faithful one, well done.”

Beloved ones, I see your faithfulness, do not be discouraged.  Do not worry about success.

I will surely come to bless.  I will bless you far beyond your earthly blessings.

Look forward to the glory of the day when you come and stand before your heavenly mansion,

You’ll rejoice to hear me say,

“Well done, well done, my good and faithful servant.

Well done, well done, feel the pleasure of Your Lord.

Well done, share the joy, the joy of the Lord, Your God.

                                    My good and faithful one, I say, well done.”
