George Stevenson, Jr.

“May the work I’ve done speak for me. May the service I give speak for me, May the life I live speak for me.  When I’m resting in my grave, there’s nothing more to be said; may the work I've done speak for me.  The works I’ve done, it seems so small, sometimes it seems like nothing at all; but when I stand before my God, I want to hear him say well done, May the Work I’ve Done Speak for Me”.
