The Dissatisfaction of This World - 1 John 2: 15
John the apostle spoke such wisdom
when warning and exhorting us all
to love not the world
for it makes you spiritually stall
The world is one large idol
filled with little idols so tempting
which none of it will satisfy
leaving you feeling its sting
Only God himself can satisfy
loving Christ and Him alone
giving yourself fully to His Lordship
obeying the one who's your chief cornerstone
Remember this world is passing away
one day it will be no more
if you love this worldly place
only divine wrath will be in store
So take heed of the Apostle's word
be sure to have only a single love
not for this world and all within
but to God and His home above
