I Am Very Rich...

Sometimes I look at beautiful things and wish I had these things all handed to me on a golden dish But remember how these things don’t last How they get old lost or swept away in a stormy blast And during my daily struggle it seems so hard to bear I want to lie in death even pull out my hair And even though I feel I have nothing to give or claim At times I may even hold my head in shame I remember I am very rich I have you.. And my heart you have forever too Something that never ages or wonders away with the wind That never grows dust or loses value again and again I may not have rubies, silver, or golden doors Beautiful chariots or gowns that drag across palace floors Horses or treasures to never need Bells to ring for my servants while I wallow in greed And during my day I remind myself it is better this way To remember true loves worth means more anyway To remember these things do not matter now But in heaven I have all I want and need so I continue to bow And one day I will grieve no more For the things man says matter will wash upon the shore I await the day to finally adore these things how I dream Which will never die, whither, or be lost floating upstream So yes I am very rich and this is so true Because Christ Jesus I have you…..
