Wherever Your Treasure Is

I remember what my Mama said
Not everything that glitters is gold
And what profits a man
If he gains the whole world
Yet still loses his soul?

Like sandcastles that are here today
But gone tomorrow
The only eternal currency
Is saving other’s souls

Wherever your treasure is
There is your heart

I remember what the Master said
Be generous and give to the poor
And that what you’ve done unto the least of these
I said: You’ve done unto the Lord
Yes the bank of the Lord it is safe and secure
It’s the storehouse of the heavens
And when you arrive and get a high-five
You’ll hear: Well done my faithful servant!

Wherever your treasure is
There is your heart
So I will put my hope in the heavens
And place my trust in the Lord
Wherever your treasure is
There’s your heart

So set your minds on Christ
Not on earthly things
For no earthly things shall bring joy
Yes set your minds on Christ
Not on earthly things (no earthly things)
For no earthly things shall bring joy

You see as soon as the money comes
It seems the money goes
But these problems they’re still so real
And it’s here today and gone tomorrow
Like a dog chasing after his tail

But if you seek first His Kingdom
And His righteousness
Then all these things they will be added unto to you
So don’t worry, no don’t stress

I can’t wait to see what’s in store
When we reach Zion
In Heaven it is safe and secure
From theft and corrosion

So I won’t focus on the here and now
For someday we’ll all die
And spend 10, 000 years and forevermore
In the by-and-by
