“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,”
Correctly Job declared.
We brought nothing with us into the world
And had only what mother shared.
When we are freed from this earth-suit
We take none of the riches of earth,
We enter eternity with absolutely nothing
As simple as we were at our birth.
“You can’t take it with you,” I’ve often heard quoted
But there will be something that remains.
The good deeds done by the Spirit’s power,
The souls that through our witness, God changed.
Trusting in the Lord instead of wealth
Brings contentment beyond all measure.
When we gauge our success by godliness,
We are laying up eternal treasure.
Godliness with contentment is
great gain,
Trusting Him to supply all our needs,
Having food, clothing, and shelter here
Until from our earth-suits we are freed.
