We watch the rich and famous
bedecked in precious jewels,
Enjoying earthly pleasures,
defying moral rules --
And in our mood of discontent
we sink into despair
And long for earthly riches
and feel cheated of our share.
But stop these idle musings,
God has stored up for you
Treasures that are far beyond
earth's jewels and riches too,
For never, never discount
what God has promised man
If he will walk in meekness
and accept God's flawless plan--
For if we heed His teachings
as we journey through the years.
We'll find the richest jewels of all
are crystalized from tears.
