"ALL THAT GLITTERS"

Verse 1
[Girl:] So many things to buy, so many seeking gain,
Pleasures that last a short time and cannot heal your pain.
[Boy:] There are many things that you can buy with your cash,
Pleasures for a moment, but nothing that really lasts.
There are things that you can, you can gain by selling your soul,
Find fame and a-fortune, but there are some things that can't be sold.

Chorus 1
[Girl:] Just 'cause it glitters doesn't mean it's gold.
[Boy:] You might gain the world's love, but lose your soul.
[Girl:] The things your heart needs you could never buy,
But He bought them for you when He died.

Verse 2
[Girl:] It's time to count the cost, the stakes are so high.
We must make our decisions, how will we spend our lives?
[Boy:] Stop and count the cost now, every choice that you make
The stakes are so high you, you wouldn't want to make a mistake.
Spend your whole life spending and never get what you need.
Give it up for Heaven, you'll be richer and freer indeed.

Repeat Chorus 1

Verse 3
[Girl:] Do you value your own way so much you can't do His Will?
Yield now to the Spirit's flow and with Her joy you'll be filled.
[Boy:] Do you value your own way more than anything, anything else?
Want to prove you can make it, that you're strong enough in yourself?
Trust in your own impulse and the thoughts from in your head,
But you'll find going man's way is destruction and the way of death.

Chorus 2
[Girl:] Just 'cause it glitters doesn't mean it's gold.
[Boy:] You could gain the world's love, but lose your soul.
[Girl:] The things your heart needs you could never buy,
But He bought them for you when He died.

It's not gold...

It's not gold…

[You could gain the world's love but lose your soul…]

It's not…
