More Than Wealth and Fame

M-ore than wealth and fame, 
H-eaven is beyond compare; 
A-side from the holy city, 
Y-ou're richer than a billionaire.

H-ell is for the evil ones, 
E-ternal life is for the virtuous, 
R-ighteous ones are waiting, 
M-ay first reveals the good news.
O-nce the time has ended, 
S-alvation shall soon follow; 
I-n the blink of an eye, 
L-ord shall take away sorrow.
L-oneliness and aches are just things of the past; 
A-lmighty God shall bring pure delight that will ever last.

A-lthough there are sacrifices, 
C-ry, pain, and persecution; 
I-nstead of losing your ground, 
E-arnestly keep going on.
R-iches and prestige perish, 
T-hings shall be burned in flame; 
O-nly the gift of redemption is more than wealth and fame.
