What Really Matters

When I look around I see a world filled with sin

People satisfying their own desires that they have deep within

Living life like there's no tomorrow

Smoking and drinking, trying to remove their sorrow

What does it profit a man if he gains everything in life

It makes no sense if He doesn't have Jesus Christ

We don't worship gods made with gold or wooden pieces

We worship the one true God, His name is Jesus

And the truth is you can't handle us

Coz in Christ, we are more than conquerors

So don't follow this world, don't go with the flow

All of that is trivial, just so you know

What matters is where you spend eternity

So humble yourselves in front of the God Almighty

Don't stand with your head held high, get down on your knees

Coz God doesn't care about your status, it's your heart that He sees

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will grant the desires of  your heart

And that's what I've been trying to say from the start

Wonderfully faithful tribute - I truly enjoyed this, Charles! People are not the enemy, HATE is ... and love, the answer. It's not rocket science, but it seems people treat it as such. Great write! Have a good day!
