We hoard earthly treasures
But they'll one day corrode
We chase fleeting pleasures
And find they implode
Our bodies decay
We can't count on our health
We long for security
And strive after wealth
Like chasing the wind,
We circle in vain
Restless, we worry
And deny we're in pain
Trying to numb
The internal hole
Of our empty, yet always
Eternal soul
But God so rich in mercy
Longs to lavish peace
Exceedingly, abundantly
Beyond our wildest dreams
With love overflowing
He freely gives His best
Removes our sins as far
As east is from the west
And He prepares a place for us
Where nothing can destroy
Boundless love
And unrestrained, unending joy
A place whose entrance
None could e'er afford
Except by trusting Jesus
As Saviour and as Lord
But they'll one day corrode
We chase fleeting pleasures
And find they implode
Our bodies decay
We can't count on our health
We long for security
And strive after wealth
Like chasing the wind,
We circle in vain
Restless, we worry
And deny we're in pain
Trying to numb
The internal hole
Of our empty, yet always
Eternal soul
But God so rich in mercy
Longs to lavish peace
Exceedingly, abundantly
Beyond our wildest dreams
With love overflowing
He freely gives His best
Removes our sins as far
As east is from the west
And He prepares a place for us
Where nothing can destroy
Boundless love
And unrestrained, unending joy
A place whose entrance
None could e'er afford
Except by trusting Jesus
As Saviour and as Lord
