Riches On Earth Fade Away Contest
“What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?”
If you live a life that’s based merely on possessions you will someday pay the toll,
For the richest man that’s poor in spirit might as well be dead,
Your love for God is what matters not the diamonds on your head,
Our time is like a vapor released from the masters face,
We will all stand before him and eventually leave this place,
Your money can’t buy you the ticket and you can’t get their by who you know,
In his mighty kingdom it is your heart that will ultimatly show,
Don’t worry about your title down here on this passing earth,
For a man’s income does not define his eternal worth.
Contest: 1-10 lines based on a favorite scripture
Written: 12/21/11
Matthew 16:26
