[Intro - Spoken word] A field full of gold, a heart full of plans, A lifetime of wealth held tight in his hands. But what does it profit when the final day comes, If you've gained the whole world, but forgotten the One? Wordforge! Preach! [Verse 1] The harvest was plentiful, the fields overflowed, The rich man stood looking, at the seeds that he sowed. My barns are too small for the wealth I possess, I'll tear them all down and build bigger than this. I'll store up my grain, I'll keep all I've earned, With years of good living, there's no need to yearn. I'll rest and be merry, I'll eat, drink, and play, I've gathered enough to enjoy every day. [Pre-Chorus] But he counted his riches and measured his gain, Never considered for him no more days remained. He planned for tomorrow, but failed to see, That long life isn't promised to anybody. [Chorus] What does it profit to gain all the gold, To build up a kingdom while your soul grows cold? You can fill every barn, you can own everything, But you can't take your treasures, when you stand before the King. Don't store up your riches where moth and rust remain, Don't put all your hope in the things you can gain. There's a treasure that lasts beyond this world you see. Be rich toward God for eternity. [Verse 2] Then God spoke the words that shattered his sight. Fool, your soul is required tonight. All that you've gathered, all that you've stored, You will never enjoy all of your reward? The barns stood in silence, the harvest remained, The wealth he had treasured could not ease his pain. He'd planned for his future, but missed what was true, His life wasn't his own, and his time was now due. [Pre-Chorus] He counted his silver, his cattle, his land, But never considered God's sovereign hand. He built up his riches, but neglected his soul, And lost sight of the One who makes broken hearts whole. [Chorus] What does it profit to gain all the gold, To build up a kingdom while your soul grows cold? You can fill every barn, you can own everything, But you can't take your treasures when you stand before the King. Don't store up your riches where moth and rust remain, Don't put all your hope in the things you can gain. There's a treasure that lasts beyond this world you see, Be rich toward God for eternity. [Bridge] Life is a vapor, a breath in the wind, You don't know the hour when your story will end. Your money can't save you, your fame cannot stay, And the things you hold tightly will all fade away. So give to the needy, let compassion take root, Let your faith bear fruit in the things that you do. Seek first His kingdom, let His truth be your guide, Lay your treasures in heaven, with Christ at your side. [Final Chorus] What does it profit to gain all the gold, If you stand before God with an empty soul? You can build a whole kingdom, and make your name known, But the wealth of this world cannot bring you back home. Don't store up your riches where moth and rust remain, Don't put all your hope in the things you can gain. Let your life tell the story of the One you believe. Be rich toward God, and in Him find peace. [Outro] The fields may grow empty, the barns disappear, The riches of earth will not follow you here. So number your days, let your heart seek the Lord, For the greatest of riches is found in His Word. Be rich toward God... That's the treasure that endures...
