Living my life
With all that it brings,
A life consumed
By worldly things.
My life had wealth,
And status, and ease,
I lived each day
Myself to please.
It was with stealth
And sudden surprise,
When I found no glee
In earthly prize.
Even as I reckoned
My goodly treasure,
It no longer brought
To me any pleasure.
What in the world
Has happened to me?
I have it all.
What more can there be?
And why am I
No longer content?
Where has serenity
And comfort been sent?
I don't know for sure
How my thoughts changed;
Nor all the ways
My life rearranged.
But now I know
What more can be.
The day I met Jesus
My soul was set free.
All the things I acquired
In spree after spree,
Were in actuality
Acquiring me.
Now all those things
That I had acquired
Were no longer things
My heart desired.
How easily riches
And comfort deceive.
Thankfully, in grace,
I was granted reprieve.
I am most thankful,
grateful eternally,
For that glorious day
Jesus happened upon me.
