Lay Up Treasures In Heaven

 

Lay Up Treasures In Heaven

All the vain empty works

of this world will soon be vanished

all the toys and trinkets

that you lived for and relished

So lay up your treasures in Heaven

and not be a shortsighted fool

Labor for your savior

and let Him have supreme rule

Jesus promised to give us

according to our own work and labor

He will be perfectly fair and just

and show no one favor

So stop filling up your time here

with things that don't even matter

spending hours upon hours

with idle talk and chatter

Life here is too short to waste

and of so much more worth

than to squander away with temporary 

pleasures and things of earth

So seek for the souls of people

while there is still time yet

to be a fisher of men

praying for God to give a full net

Matthew 6:20: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal; 21: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
