Things of This World DC Talk

[Verse 1: TobyMac]
70 years is all we got
To accumulate goods that seem to mean a lot
For the first 20 years, you're off to school
Learnin' principles and learnin' the tools
To make lots of money, the ultimate goal
Gain the whole world and yet lose ya soul, huh
Humanism is on a roll
20 gets the the knowledge, 30 years to apply
And just 20 years left for askin' why
I didn't realize what it was all about
And was there any use in this rigorous route? Because…

[Chorus: Kevin Max]
Things of this world are passin' away
Here tomorrow but they're sure not here to stay
Things of this world are passin' away
So lay your treasure above and start to live for Him today

[Verse 2: TobyMac]
All done for self in this world will pass
And all done for Christ in this world will last
Sounds like a simple task
But everyday life seems to get in the way
No time to serve, barely time to pray
Our focal points lost and we get tossed
In the wind, cold facin' the cost
Of fallin' without stallin' or even callin' the Lord
While you were blackballin'
He was waitin' for you to see the light
And find for yourself, these things are trite
