The Heart of the Matter
Jesus made a comment about where you treasure lie
should also be the place where your hearts resides
He did not equivocate nor did He mix up His words
He said exactly what He meant what He wanted heard
for where you lay your treasures down
the heart of your matter will also be found
The heart is the most essential and sensitive thing that we possess
that which keeps us living that which God did bless
the heart of the matter what is your inner core?
the heart of the matter what does God have for you in store?
If you really want to know anything about a person's life
you need to know if they value money or do they value Christ
one way to get this knowledge is to look at their check stubs
discover the heart of their matter find out what is their rub
You can only serve one master you must choose and decide
Jesus Christ of Mammon to whom will you abide?
what do you value most? what do you hold dear?
what do you consider your treasure? about what do you really care?
In society today success is judged by only one measure
it's not looks nor intelligence but monetary treasure
it's about how much money you have it's all about the green
but to the real powers that be money doesn't mean a thing
It's not about the Benjamins it's not about the cash
it's about the morals on mankind going to hell and how long will it last
we need to come together and discover the real heart of the matter
that God is the true measure not the rich whose pockets get fatter
God is the Creator He will provide you with everything
just don't serve the demon money it's God who truly reigns
Yes, all you see and behold does belongs to the Lord God
we're only stewards to serve Him and hold Him in the highest regards
The real heart of the matter is what is your measure?
Is it serving God and receiving His eternal treasure?
or is it money the root of all evil that many see as a tool
that Satan utilizes to make people act like fools?
God may look upon money as a sacrifice to His throne
so tithe to His kingdom as a measure to atone
The Lord only asks that you give Him just ten percent
have no fear trust in HIm and don't worry about paying the rent
for He will open the windows of heaven and overfill your treasure chest
just give Him His first and He will prove you not with the rest
the real heart of the matter is that you just give God His due
for He made a greater sacrifice when His Son Jesus died for you
