Forget things
That cannot bring
Joy, peace, nor anything
Pertaining to righteousness
Purity and holiness
Neither that which is glorious
Certainly things cannot
Enable you to enter
God's marvelous Presence
Wherein is found His magnificence
Let go of things
And lesson thy load
Thy soul don't goad
I know this lie you
For a long time have road
Into the depths of the wilderness
Competing with the Jones'
Seeking to find some kind of bliss
However all you have found
Is continual emptiness
All seemingly has gone amiss
The simplicity of life you do miss
Why than don't you return to God
Look up to heaven and blow Him a kiss
In Christ you will find forgiveness
Forget the cares of this world
The deceitfulness of riches
The lust of others things
No joy do they bring
On the contrary
Things bring added responsibility
Compounded confusion and stress
Wouldn't it be far better
To curl up to the King and rest$%:
Consider your struggles
Another one of life's tests
To try your heart
And see what you're made of
To see if you prefer power
Or the power of love
To examine and reveal your motives
That which moves and motivates you
That for which you will sell your soul too!
That by which the devil can bind you
Contain, captivate, and cripple you
Awe come on now
To you this revelation shouldn't be new
It's the means by which
The prince of darkness holds you
Snares your soul to redirect you
Away from all that could uplift you
Uphold, undergird, and secure you
Far better is it for Satan however
When he accuses and unsettles you
By critiquing and comparing you
Measuring you by your balance sheet
Lying to and telling you you're not complete
Without a lengthy list of assets
An impressive financial statement
Such a devilish seduction is brilliant
A means by which to distract
And dislocate your entire life
To fill your soul with jealousy and strife
As you enviously scurry to gather all your life
Get more, seemingly even the score
Your identity always insecure
Outwardly fixated on things
What you do or don't own
In so doing, your foolishness you've shown
As you lose your own soul
And consumerism takes its toll
You go deeper into debt
Your heart fills with regret
Some grow desperate and place a bet
Far better would it be
If you'd just see more clearly
Lift up your head to heaven
Invite the King of kings into your heart
Make a bold and fresh new start
Employ the principles of kingdom
To your everyday life
Be a good steward
Give God your life
Jesus can do far more with it
Than you have or will do
This my friend, I can assure you
Therefore let no possessions have you
Surrender your heart to Jesus
Watch the amazing things
For you He can do
As you seek first the King
He will make your heart sing
Free you from the bondage of things
And within give you everything.
