Vanity

We race to work then home again The less we make the more we spend It doesn't matter what we do We can't take it when life is through But still we want the next big thing We save it, hoard it, stash and cling Each idle treasure we pursue We can't take it when life is through But there's a revolution coming To stop all the insanity A challenge that we recognize These things are only vanity! These things are only vanity! Men before us fought for land To use in ways God never planned Earth that wasn't theirs alone No territory's ever owned Now look at us, nothing has changed Only our methods rearranged To fit the latest fad and craze Could this be the End of Days? 'Cause there's a revolution coming To stop all the insanity A challenge that we recognize These things are only vanity! These things are only vanity! Check your heart, look to your soul Is it really "well" within? If there be one thing keeping you Away from God it's surely sin Get rid of all that would obscure The grace of Him who sets you free Let loose the binds of earthly things For all of that is Vanity! Yes, there's a revolution coming To stop all the insanity A challenge that we recognize These things are only vanity! These things are only vanity! © Donna Golden, 2010
