Things Of This World


70 years is all we got
To accumulate goods that seem to mean a lot
For the first 20 years, you're off to school
Learnin' principles and learnin' the tools
To make lots of money, the ultimate goal
Gain the whole world and yet lose ya soul
Huh, humanism is on a roll
20 gets the the knowledge, 30 years to apply
and just 20 years left for askin' why
I didn't realize what it was all about
And, was there any use in this rigorous route because

(chorus)
Things of this world are passin' away
Here tomorrow, but they're sure not here to stay
Things of this world are passin' away
So lay your treasure above
And start to live for Him today

All done for self in this world will pass
And all done for Christ in this world will last
Sounds like a simple task...
But everyday life seems to get in the way
No time to serve, barely time to pray
Our focal points lost and we get tossed
In the wind, cold facing the cost
Of fallin' without stallin' or even callin' the Lord
While you were blackballin'
He was waitin' for you to see the light
And find for yourself, these things are trite

(repeat chorus)

(vamp)

Our mind transforms a want to a need
A simple process that we call greed
Ya say ya like to have money, well I do too
The problem starts when the money has you
Workin' overtime to keep up with the pace
A lifestyle that you want to embrace
But it's 2 steps from where your needs are met
You're keepin' up with the Joneses, but your all in debt
Which will lead to stress, not meeting the bills
While ya sportin' a Benz with all the thrills
The domino effect's gotcha life in check
A temporary stitch and ya livin' a wreck

(repeat chorus 2x)

Don't lay up your treasures upon this Earth
They'll soon pass away
And all return to dirt [4x]

Things of this world are passin' away
Here tomorrow, but they're sure not here to stay
Things of this world, things of this world
The things, the things, the things of this world

Don't lay up your treasures upon this Earth
They'll soon pass away
And all return to dirt [2x]





Mirror lyrics:




And all return to dirt [2x]
They'll soon pass away
Don't lay up your treasures upon this Earth

The things, the things, the things of this world
Things of this world, things of this world
Here tomorrow, but they're sure not here to stay
Things of this world are passin' away

And all return to dirt [4x]
They'll soon pass away
Don't lay up your treasures upon this Earth

(repeat chorus 2x)

A temporary stitch and ya livin' a wreck
The domino effect's gotcha life in check
While ya sportin' a Benz with all the thrills
Which will lead to stress, not meeting the bills
You're keepin' up with the Joneses, but your all in debt
But it's 2 steps from where your needs are met
A lifestyle that you want to embrace
Workin' overtime to keep up with the pace
The problem starts when the money has you
Ya say ya like to have money, well I do too
A simple process that we call greed
Our mind transforms a want to a need

(vamp)

(repeat chorus)

And find for yourself, these things are trite
He was waitin' for you to see the light
While you were blackballin'
Of fallin' without stallin' or even callin' the Lord
In the wind, cold facing the cost
Our focal points lost and we get tossed
No time to serve, barely time to pray
But everyday life seems to get in the way
Sounds like a simple task...
And all done for Christ in this world will last
All done for self in this world will pass

And start to live for Him today
So lay your treasure above
Things of this world are passin' away
Here tomorrow, but they're sure not here to stay
Things of this world are passin' away

To accumulate goods that seem to mean a lot
70 years is all we got
