Worldly Things

There is only one God,
in whom I put my trust
all of the other ones
have turned into rust.

I once relied on people,
to bring to me pleasure
but they couldn't convey
love that I could treasure.

Everything is conditional,
nothing is without a cost
and now I can understand
why so many are truly lost.

I thought if I set my sights,
on the things of this world
that everlasting happiness
I would be able to unfurl.

But they too soon corroded,
and all turned into dust
that is why it's only God
in whom I now put my trust.

For His love is eternal,
and brings heavenly rewards
now being with Him one day
is what I look towards.

Colossians 3:1
King James Version

"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek
those things which are above, where
Christ sitteth on the right hand of
God"
