What are you counting?

Mistaken Counting!
I counted dollars while God counted crosses.

I counted gains while He counted losses!

I counted my worth by the things gained in store.

But He sized me up by the scars that I bore.

I coveted honors and sought for degrees;

He wept as He counted the hours on my knees.

And I never knew 'till one day at a grave.

How vain are these things that we spend our life to save!
