Romans 14:10, 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 



When our labor all retire 

There will be a trial by fire 

Will your treasure pass the test 

Or will it burn up with the rest 

You may build upon a sure foundation 

With your building in dilapidation 

When it all comes down to rubble 

Will it be wood, hay, or stubble 

Or precious stones, gold and silver- 

Are you really sure? 



(Chorus) 

And we all will stand at the Bema Seat 

All will be revealed - it will be complete 

Will there be reward in the fiery heat 

When we see our lives at the Bema Seat 



Every talent will be sure counted 

Every word will have to be accounted 

Not a story will be left untold 

We will stand watch the truth unfold 

Every score - will be evened - nothing to defend 



Every building will be shaken 

Every motive will be tried 

He'll give reward to the faithful 

Will you receive or be denied?
