What will it profit if we gained
Every aspect on this earth,
But neglected the most important fact –
Our spiritual rebirth?
What will it profit if we gained
All the respect in all we did,
Unless we gave all the glory to God
And sincerely did thank Him?
What will it profit if we became
The most notable in our field,
But where arrogance became our necklace
And to God we did not yield?
What will it profit if we were wealthy
And rich in every way,
But didn’t realise we were poor and naked
Where deception did remain?
It will not profit us at all
Whether we drove a fancy car,
Because unless Jesus was in our driver’s seat
We couldn’t travel far.
And it certainly will not profit us
If our mansions were idolised,
Because it’s the humble and the poor in spirit
That’s precious in God’s eyes.
There’s nothing wrong with having all the above
But unless God is our first love,
Our priorities and our focus
Will not be on Him above.
It will not profit us in the end
Because all that we did achieve,
Will turn to rubble and be burnt
Unless in Christ we did believe.
True dividends are found in Jesus;
There simply is no other way,
Because it was He that died for us and rose;
A fact that will remain.
