Consider, What Is It All Worth
Consider, What Is It All Worth
Consider, what is it all worth,
pale treasures on earth.
Neither silver , jewels or gold,
will give time to grow old.
Yet there is it, the true love,
gifted from so far above.
Greed demands solid treasure,
that we so foolishly measure.
Imagine wealth of eternal life,
love, gentleness and no strife.
Palaces built in faith's fires,
happiness that never retires.
Consider, the vanity of man,
rebellion just because we can.
Death was the only bitter fruit,
of that dark and evil root.
Consider, what is it all worth,
pale treasures on earth.
Neither silver , jewels or gold,
will give time to grow old.
