Things Of This World Lyrics - Nu Thang - Dc Talk

Seventy years is all we got 

To accumulate goods that seem to mean a lot 

For the first twenty 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 

Twenty gets the the knowledge, thirty years to apply 

And just twenty years left for askin' why 

I didn't realize what it was all about 

And, was there any use in this rigorous rout because 

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 

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 

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 

Our mind transforms a want to a need 

A simple process that we call greed 

Ya say ya like to have money, well I do too 

The problem starts when the money has you 

Workin' overtime to keep up with the pace 

A lifestyle that you want to embrace 

But it's two steps from where your needs are met 

You're keepin' up with the Jones', but your all in debt 

Which will lead to stress, not meeting the bills 

While ya sportin' a Benz with all the thrills 

The domino effect's gotcha life in check 

A temporary stitch and ya livin' a wreck 

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 

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 

Things of this world are passin' away 

Here tomorrow, but they're sure not here to stay 

Things of this world, the things of this world 

The things, the things, the things of this world 

Don't lay up your treasures upon this Earth 

They'll soon pass away and all return to dirt 

Don't lay up your treasures upon this Earth 

They'll soon pass away and all return to dirt 

Don't lay up your treasures upon this Earth 

They'll soon pass away and all return to dirt
