All That Really Matters Is Jesus

What kind of life have you
 been spending?
Is it one of "wasteful things"
 and "pretending?"

Things seem to be going "great." 
 You're so proud.
Does it seem like you're 
"walking on a cloud?"

You have a family. A big house
 and good health.
Not counting all of the "friends"
 and some wealth.

Have you thought about who
 made this possible?
It was God.  You may find this
 as "improbable."

His word says that everything is
 a gift from God on high.
HE is EVERTHING!  
Anything  else is just a lie!

It's not because of you that 
you have all of this.
To be wealthy, happy 
and very bliss.

The next time you find yourself
 heading toward the door.
Think about what the true meaning
 of life is really for!

Lay your treasures in heaven 
and you'll find.
Godly contentment and a
real peace of mind.

The blessings of God... 
Is what you need to acheive.
So the treasures of his love,
you'll begin to receive!
