V1:
Everybody wants what they don’t have;
They want more like all the rest.
Everybody wants what others got
But they don’t see how much they’re blessed.
They store up treasures here on earth,
Where moth and rust corrupt.
They labour for perishable meat,
Some eventually give up.
Chorus:
Jesus says come to me and you shall never hunger. Drink of the water I give you and ye shall never thirst. Having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
V2:
The more you have, the more you’ll want,
You’ll never be satisfied.
You keep seeking the worlds reward,
With only the world to guide.
The rich get rich and the poor get poor, But they don’t seem to care.
As long as they have their fun and sports,
They turn their head elsewhere.
V3:
They say that God wants our happiness,
And to live a good life,
But they leave out the most important part,
That you shall suffer if you live right.
But nobody wants to hear that;
They’d rather enjoy themselves.
They don’t want to pick up their cross,
And have to deny themselves
