By what standard is this true?
Man's reasoning oft contradicts
So God's Word needs strict review.
All the wealth accrued on this earth
Won't count in Eternity!
Yet "saved ones," lacking a fortune,
Great riches in Heav'n will see!
At death, you take nothing with you --
All you've earned you leave behind.
The Christian goes on to Heaven
Where rewards from God he will find.
Yet, even now, on this dark earth
We know rich treasure galore:
God's peace and guidance and great joy!
We need ask for nothing more.
So what is the wise choice to make?
How foolish to live for Today!
Start laying up Heavn'ly treasure --
Be rich! 'Tis the only way.
