They Got What They Wanted

They got what they wanted
But lost what they had
The story of many
So tragic, so sad.

We are ever in search
Of the key to life
As our scientists, research
And ideas are rife.

With no home of His own
Jesus preached thro’ His Land
Was so driven by love
As he followed God’s plan.

Having so much
Yet feeling so empty
Ever needy, and searching
Amidst our great plenty.

So, to live for The Master
For His glory and praise
Be faithful, single-minded
Your heart, upward raised.

Being godly, contented
Brings forth great gain
With food and clothing
We’re contented, remain.

But, for those seeking Truth
Follow Jesus, and His cross
Find new life, eternal
Must count all else, as loss.

So, heed a big warning
Given all we’ve received
Invest well, for our Master
Don’t hide it, deceived.

Know, in saving our life
Jesus said, we shall lose it
But if losing for Christ
We gain, God’s Holy Spirit.

As our Father in heaven
Fully trust Him and rest
Wholly yield God, your dreams
Achieve, what He deems best.
