Too often we seek our desire
Instead of our great need.
We want the world, or so we think,
Succeed, and then exceed!
The glass we think that we have filled
Looks emptier by far
Than what we thought we had achieved
Reaching that higher bar.
For, though we have it all, we find
Our lives still incomplete.
We own the world, but not the wealth
Found at our Savior’s feet.
All of the gold this world offers
Is of no real value,
When compared to the redemption
That He freely gave you.
We can gather all of the wealth
That mortal man values,
But we’ll still live unsatisfied
If that’s the life we choose.
If you feel two camels short of
The wealth you seek on earth,
Then seek God first, His grace and peace
Exceed all this world’s worth.
Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
