I'd rather be wise in the eyes of God, And a fool in the eyes of the world,
Than to be the king of this vast domain With diamonds and rubies and pearls.
I'd rather seek first the kingdom of God, And His righteousness, Then all that I
need will be added unto me, And I will be blessed.
I will not store up my treasures on earth For robbers to steal and for rust to
corrupt.
I will store up my treasures in heaven Where nothing can harm them forever.
When I consider the birds of the air, They do not sow, nor do they reap,
Yet my Heavenly Father provides for their care.
How much more will He care for His sheep?
So I'll take no thought of saying, What shall I eat?
What shall I drink?
What shall I wear?
For my Heavenly Father knows my every need, And He will sustain me in His tender
care.
I will not store up my treasures on earth For robbers to steal and for rust to
corrupt.
I will store up my treasures in heaven Where nothing can harm them forever.
Consider the lilies that grow in the fields, They do not toil, nor do they
spin, But not even Solomon, in all of his glory, Was ever arrayed like them.
So I'll take no thought of saying, What shall I eat?
What shall I drink?
What shall I wear?
For my Heavenly Father knows my every need, And He will sustain me in His tender
care.
I will not store up my treasures on earth For robbers to steal and for rust to
corrupt.
I will store up my treasures in heaven Where nothing can harm them forever.
That's why I'd rather be wise in the eyes of God And a fool in the eyes of the world
Than to be the king of this vast domain With diamonds and rubies and pearls Than
