It’s important to have others respect you. A life not lived to the fullest is almost equivalent to a wasted life. If you live to make others happy, you are not living your life to the fullest. To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small, In all life Thou livest, the true life of all We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, And wither and perishbut naught changeth Thee.

^ Russ Cheatham - Bad Boy of Gospel Music: The Calvin Newton Story - "'Wasted Years' was released as a single before the album was issued and was by far the biggest hit of all the Sons' records. 'Wasted Years' is a 1960 gospel song by Wally Fowler. Williams had formerly played piano with the John Daniel Quartet when Fowler sang with the group." Finally, in August 2000 it was revealed at the Grand Old Gospel Reunion that Albert Williams, an employee of Fowler's, actually wrote the song. There is someone who knows and always hears Give it up Give it up The load youre bearing You cant go on in a life of wasted years. I will not forget the day you turned around my life, I will not forget the day you removed satans knife, I will not forget the day I was no longer a lowlife, I will not forget the day that I discovered Christ, But from that day Ive shed many Tears for a wasted life. Wally pitched us a song called 'Wasted Years'. Wasted years, wasted years, oh how foolish, As you walk on in darkness and in fears Turn around, turn around, God is calling, Hes calling you from a life of wasted years. Fowler was a classic entrepreneur, always looking for good business opportunities.
