[Verse 1] Two roads on the table, two doors in the rain Both honest enough to carry a name One brings a larger number home every week One leaves more hours for the promises we keep I picture the faces waiting by the door The questions at supper, the Bible on the floor A calendar crowded, a heart asking why What gain is a paycheck if our worship runs dry? [Pre-Chorus] Teach me to weigh what the figures can't show The love that needs time, the faith we must grow When comfort is calling, remind me to see What matters forever, not only what’s easy [Chorus] Help me make sure of the more important things Put sacred first beneath Your sheltering wings If I must choose between applause and the way Give me a heart that will honor You each day Let work serve life, let love guide our home Keep us together wherever we roam With family near and our worship sincere I’ll trust Your blessing more than earthly gain [Verse 2] The closer position means arriving on time For meetings that strengthen this household of mine A smaller reward, but a richer release More room to listen, more room to bring peace My children are learning by all that I do Not merely by words that I say to them too They notice the choices, the hours that I spare The things I protect, the devotion I share [Pre-Chorus] Teach me to weigh what the figures can't show The love that needs time, the faith we must grow When comfort is calling, remind me to see What matters forever, not only what’s easy [Chorus] Help me make sure of the more important things Put sacred first beneath Your sheltering wings If I must choose between applause and the way Give me a heart that will honor You each day Let work serve life, let love guide our home Keep us together wherever we roam With family near and our worship sincere I’ll trust Your blessing more than earthly gain [Bridge] Not every open door is where I should remain Not every brighter offer outweighs the strain I’ll ask what protects the altar in our heart What helps us serve You, never grow apart [Final Chorus] Help us make sure of the more important things Put sacred first beneath Your sheltering wings Through every decision, make our vision clear Your kingdom and family are precious here Let work serve life, let love guide our home Keep us together wherever we roam With family near and our worship sincere We’ll trust Your blessing more than earthly gain [Outro] More important things, keep them before our eyes More important things, teach our hearts to prioritize We choose what gives love and worship room to grow And walk with confidence wherever You lead us home
