Got this off from Flang's blog (for those of you who know him)...thought it'd be something that might be meaningful to all of us students and perhaps a bit more timely for the NUS ppl =)
Grades Greatness or Grace
Man looks at our grades,
But God looks at our faith.
Though grades appeal to man,
God only requires the best.
The best may be "F" or "A",
But God says, "Be not dismayed",
For it is never a disgrace to fail,
However, it's no grace if one does not prevail.
So cheer up my soul, study your best,
For God only demands what we have.
Be careful also my friend,
Good grades don't always mean success.
For doing well is not enough,
It's your BEST that really counts.
"But Lord, I know I cannot do my best"
Hallelujah! All is possible with prayer.
Be not anxious then,
Or panic in facing your exams.
For Christ who died to save your soul,
Will never leave you alone.
Healthy, your soul will be,
If His faithfulness you see.
For then you will understand.
It's only He who had made you stand.
Therefore, arise my soul,
And let us all disappoint the Foe.
For we shall give our very best,
Let God take care of the rest.
So, no matter what the results may be,
We can always rest in His peace.
For God is able to give us all distinctions,
But this is clearly not His intention.
For God has made us all unique,
So that it's You and only You,
Can His perfect will be fulfilled.
God has always accepted you.
For He's the one who had created you.
So, do not compare or despair,
For in His sight you're always fair.
I know He will surely see you through,
Showing you He's the God of tomorrow too!
Quite meaningful...kudos to Flang for this finding this poem off i-don't-know-where...
