about

This is one of many wonderful songs written by R. Lorraine Taylor-Wheaton (RLO). She writes about the cause and effect of our actions and what we consider as important. Listen to her lyrics, they weave a healthy message.

lyrics

THINGS
words & music by R. Lorraine Taylor-Wheaton c1997

Chorus:
If THINGS are more important to you than the treasures of your heart,
you're gonna' end up alone surrounded by all your fancy works of art.
And if you look straight past a dying friend to see how much he holds in his hand, you're gonna' end up all by yourself in your great big toy land.

I really liked the way we've managed to fit God into our society,
We've got that cute little phrase "In God We Trust" printed on our currency. And every well-dressed Christian knows just which designer label leather bible to get. And how to have his favortire bible verses printed on his credit cards and on his checks.

We'll we've got seminars at church to teach us how to get rich and have a high financial goal. and I've heard it said that Christians should go first class or they just should not go at all.

But if you put your faith in money and all the things you have here on earth, You'd better pray you're never reappraised to see just what your soul is worth.

We were made from dust, and dust is all we will ever be, And if the things you treauser were made by man, how important can they be?

(Chorus)
