Lyrics
It Matters What Treasure You Seek
You’ve spent a lifetime pursuing the wind, Chasing vapors of worldly pleasure
And though you feel you’ve accomplished so much long the way
What you’ve done is give God second place
So you’ve gained your earthly reward, At the cost of your heavenly one
And I know you truly are not aware
Of exactly what you have done
Your perspective seemed right I know, to live life to the fullest your goal
You became a lover and seeker of fun, more than seeking the Holy One
Did you ever pick up a cross, did you ever consider the cost
Did it ever dawn on you what you’ve lost, by pursuing the world but not God
There’s a way that seems right to each one
And the narrow road don’t have much appeal
And few will surrender the things they most treasure
Even if God said it was His will
For only in name most acknowledge Him
But won’t let Him rule over their life
For it seems like such a foolish request
To give up your worldly ways, for Jesus Christ
You’ve spent a lifetime pursuing the wind, Chasing vapors of worldly pleasure
Because the narrow road does not have much appeal
Few will surrender the things they most treasure
Be not deceived for God’s made it quite clear
What you sow is the reward you will reap
Have you run life’s race, keeping God second place
It matters what treasure you seek
