Waste


Ephesians 4:17 New English Translation (NET Bible)

Live in Holiness

17 So I say this, and insist in the Lord, that you no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

 

Waste

 

Thank you for your kindness it surely was very nice

One day my search will end and clearness will unfold

All the different ways in search of sugar and spice

Will end in a gentle whiz on the streets of solid gold

 

Not too far in the past, many searched for that city

Thinking that somewhere on earth riches could be found

Only a few know the better as most still hunger for that glitter

That worldly success will bring as they waste another round
