Poetry
Some people crave fortune
And others court fame;
To be highly esteemed
Is counted great gain;
To own the world’s riches
And to earn the world’s prize,
We must play by its rules;
We must swallow its lies.
But I’d rather be poor
And completely unknown;
With Christ as my Saviour
I am never alone;
He supplies all I need
And my heart is at peace;
I won’t change for the world;
With my portion I’m pleased.
If you’ve banked in Heaven;
Your assets are safe;
No thief and no robber
Will be found in that place;
If your treasure is Christ
Your hope cannot fail;
Your return’s guaranteed;
His true riches avail.
