Here are some incredible lyrics off of Ross King‘s song, Things That Matter…
I’m gonna say it now, should have a long time ago
It’s what we’re all about, we can’t pretend we don’t know
It’s something nobody every really speaks of
it isn’t God but it’s the god that we have given our love
and that love is wasted because
Your honor and Your glory, and Your Kingdom
Are the only things that matter, really
We rarely ever live for what’s eternal
but those are the only things that matter at all
You could take the lamp away, You’ve got the power and the right
Our anorexic faith makes for an unworthy bride
We’ve made a lover of anything that loves us
We’re still trying to find a way to strike it rich and follow Jesus
And it’s crazy because…
If You’re all for me You can never be all for You,
And that won’t do at all
To my surprise, the glory of the Lord is worth much
more than my self-gratification
So the anthem of my generation should be…
Your Kingdom is the only thing that matters, really
It’s sneaking ’round outside, it’s crouching down at my door
It’s teaching me to lie, and it simply can’t be ignored
So when I sit at the table of the rich man
I put a knife to my throat so that I will not give in
To temptation because…
