Have I Given My Best?

Lord I labor in Your vineyard
and I rise up before the sun
In the heat of the day my back is bent, Lord
and the sun goes down before my work is done, ooh
the sun goes down before my work is done

Now at midday there came a brother
“I have wasted my youth,” he cried
“will You still take me into Your service?”
And You set him working at my side, ooh
You set him working at my side

Have I given You my best, Lord?
Have I truly earned my way?
I must answer just this question -
Have I given my best, at the end of the day? ooh
Have I given my best, at the end of the day?

Just at evening there came another,
fresh from sin, and sore ashamed
He despaired of his salvation,
but You set him working just the same, ooh
You set him working just the same

We are gathered here before You
to be judged at close of day
We seek entrance to Your kingdom
Who is worthy is not for me to say ooh
Who is worthy is not for me to say

Not for me, Lord, to judge Your servants
How they came to you along the way
I must answer just this question:
Have I given my best, at the end of the day? ooh
Have I given my best, at the end of the day?
