Real and Lasting Profit -Mark 8: 36

God sends forth His gospel
for it to reach down into your soul
offering you eternal hope in love
grabbing it must ever be your goal

As living mankind looking in hope
focusing on that which brings profit
but what will bring true reward?
our minds and thoughts need be knit

The whole world beckons us to
looking unto it for your reward
to be giving your all for it's gain
be warned be really with your sword

This world could all be yours
but if so what will you really gain?
for in it you lose your own soul
stop and think what will that attain?

God calls you to come and receive
all of His mercy salvation and grace
leave this world and it's sinful desires
look to Jesus follow his heavenly race
