My everlasting All,
I’ve none but Thee in heav’n above,
Or on this earthly ball.
What empty things are all the skies,
And this inferior clod!
There’s nothing here deserves my joys,
There’s nothing like my God.
And health, and safe abode;
Thanks to Thy name for meaner things,
But they are not my God.
How vain a toy is glittering wealth,
If once compared to Thee!
Or what’s my safety, or my health,
Or all my friends to me.
And called the stars my own,
Without Thy graces and Thyself,
I were a wretch undone.
Let others stretch their arms like seas,
And grasp in all the shore;
Grant me the visits of Thy grace,
And I desire no more.

Nothing compares to the living God! When you work so hard for something you want or think you need it will never stay new and give you that fulfillment in your heart that It once gave you that you worked so hard for. It fades away and becomes worthless. It’s vanity. But not our God! Only the God Lord Jesus is the only living fulfillment we will ever need! We need not to work but just to ENJOY CHRIST in everything!
