TREASURES IN HEAVEN

What has this world to offer but riches and gold?
What else so dear than wealth to hold?

Riches they fade not and hence acclaimed,
Diamonds and rubies will forever be famed.

But what with these riches, so easily rusted,
Not even your closest friend with them can be trusted.

So precious are they, that all want to steal,
Love for it so strong, no one can heal.

Money and God we both can’t serve,
For Our dear Lord, true heart does deserve.

For what your heart does choose to treasure,
In that will it indeed find true pleasure.

Our father in Heaven has promised us more,
If we true treasures in heaven will store.

The treasures in heaven, more richer than Gold,
For In Christ, we do have eternal wealth untold.
