Crown Of Glory

 

The crowns of earth sparkle with gold
And gems of vast array.
Yet they are nothing when compared
To heaven’s grand display.
 
The glory of the Lord shines down
Upon this troubled earth,
While we tend to be focused on
Treasures of lesser worth.
 
We toil and struggle, lay our plans
For honor, wealth or fame,
While greater treasure lies in reach
For each of us to claim.
 
There is a treasure beyond wealth
In the soul’s redemption
And there’s abundant glory in
following Heaven’s Son.  
 
Take time to stop and lift your gaze
Away from the mundane
And fix your eyes, your work, your hope
Where true treasures remain.
 
Matthew 6:19-21
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
 
1 Peter 5:4
And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
