Nothing ever lasts forever.
It can all be taken away.
So in what you own take pleasure,
Who knows what hides behind each day?
It can all be taken away,
By thieves or wind or rain or fire.
For who knows what hides behind each day
Except the Great Supplier.
So in what you own take pleasure
Because nothing ever lasts forever.
Why store up goods for here on earth?
The Lord should be our greatest treasure.
His blood is what gives us any worth.
He loves us with an overflowing measure.
The Lord should be our greatest treasure,
Not money or clothes or our homes.
He loves us with an overflowing measure.
Our thanks to him should be for all we own.
Consider, his blood that gives us worth
And ask "Why store up goods here on earth?
