What We Treasure


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We fight for what we have on earth,
We scrimp and scrape and save.
Then comes the day we realize
We’ll leave it at our grave.
 
The treasures that we store on earth
Are not those that we need,
They are the treasures born of fear,
Of hunger or of greed.
 
The treasures that we should pursue
Are those found in The Word,
Like mercy, faith, abundant grace,
Things this world deems absurd.
 
Work for that which you need in life,
But give back when you can,
And treasure every word of God,
Not those of mortal man.
 
Lamentations 3:24
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
