Gold
Some people never recognise it
Though it's right before their eyes
And shines in all its glory
They never ever see
They choose something that looks just like it
And it may glitter all the time
But gold it will never be
I guess you never held on to quality
Or you woulda recognised by now
Something so special so true
When it's standing right in front of you
I'm gold babe
Catch me in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don't know
Pure gold babe
You're looking at the real thing
If you knew my worth you wouldn't let go [x2]
Oh no!
Gold lies in rivers undiscovered
Hidden from the sight of those
Who don't know what to look for
(They ain't never gonna find it)
Sometimes the value is uncovered
Other times it's cast aside
By those who are just unsure
I guess you never held on to quality
Or you would of recognised by now
Something so special so true
When she's standing right in front of you
All the things you failed to see
Separated you from me
I decide who wins my time
And who comes inside yeah
Cause what is true and what is real
Finds a way of being revealed
I don't have to even try
Cause I'm certified¡-pure¡-

One thing remains
Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant through the trial and the change
One thing… Remains
Your love never fails, never gives up
Never runs out on me [3x]
On and on and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never, ever, have to be afraid
One thing remains
In death, In life, I’m confident and
covered by the power of Your great love
My debt is paid, there’s nothing that can
separate my heart from Your great love...
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant through the trial and the change
One thing… Remains
Your love never fails, never gives up
Never runs out on me [3x]
On and on and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never, ever, have to be afraid
One thing remains
In death, In life, I’m confident and
covered by the power of Your great love
My debt is paid, there’s nothing that can
separate my heart from Your great love...
By Jesus culture
one thing remains
I was listening to this song today , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_KXsMCJgBQ , and thought it fitting to re-post the poem below , enjoy :
Everything erodes,
Even the gold that swiftly rests on the rich,
It too erodes
But God remains
I’ve traversed life’s lanes
And questioned man's purpose,
That insatiable hunger to pass on something for generations yet to come,
…to win perhaps even the approval of men already gone,
To give to them a timeless gift,
But even man’s approval erodes
But God’s remains
I’ve looked at famed people of the present time,
And how they yearn to leave something behind,
Something of value, something befitting a legacy,
Oh! How they labour tirelessly to
Imprint their signatures on the sands of time!
But I’ve realised
Even the legacies of famed heroes erode,
But God’s remains
while in the abyss
I’ve walked by my own might,
And relied on my own sight,
But struggled for I was strong,
And triumphed only when I was weak,
…left perplexed by life’s contradictions.
Who knows why I am here anyway?
I looked up some verses in Ecclesiastes& Matthwess
then Jesus gave me an epiphany,
The purpose of man is to:
Walk with God,
Live with God,
Know God,
Trust God,
Obey God
Worship God,
Love God
And to love another..
That in itself is true purpose,
A timeless freshness of being alive,
A living legacy for children to receive to follow and to pass on,
Nothing compares to this
Age to age...
Even the gold that swiftly rests on the rich,
It too erodes
But God remains

…to win perhaps even the approval of men already gone,
To give to them a timeless gift,
But even man’s approval erodes
