Meaningless

~Ecclesiastes 1:14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind When the colors fade And my heart beat is skipping rhythm Then dies away The only thing that matters then Is the Almighty's fortress reservation for you don't know what is around the bend When your life will be snatched away Set your priorities straight Life fades from view what are we really to gain But dust blowing away with the wind Nothing worthwhile Utterly meaningless banter the tears of God when it rains Mourning of the doom And coming shame of the lost What are we striving to achieve? But goals for ourselves Who gives a hoot Whose care went faster Or when a selfish goal was mastered At the end of the world Meaningless What are we wanting? What goals really mattered? Wasting away our life Pursue the dreams that count In the long run Don't lose sight of what is really important What values and morals treasured All carnal & earthly Meaningless Strive for more Don't waste your life Live in the moment & dream bigger Than you thought possible All other pursuits: meaningless But God's purpose to fulfill
