Only What You Do for Christ Will Last by Commissioned Lyrics

Genre: rb | Year: 1987

Success has deceived the world today
Even in the church, so many's gone astray
They're living in a world of fantasy
Blinded by the pressures of this high society

Fame and fortune is their reward
They don't know that man's glory
Lasts for a season
They must know what goes up
Must come down
Except when the Lord takes you
On higher ground

Only what you do for Jesus Christ will last
Everything else will fade
Like the future becomes the past
Only what you do for Jesus Christ will last
Everything else will fade
Like the future becomes the past

They've gotta know
They must know (they must know)
They must know (they must know)
They must know (they must know)
They must know (they must know)
They must know (they must know)
Only what you do for Christ will last
Many dream their dreams
And set their minds to reach their goals
What will it profit a man
To gain this world and lose his soul?
A world of pride
Where people are forced to compromise
But in the end
They know they're never really satisfied

They've gotta know
The world only gives guarantees
That will not last
Knowing not who holds the future
Who holds the present or the past
On Christ the rock you must stand
For the ground where you are standing
Is nothing but sinking sand

Only what you do for Jesus Christ will last
Everything else will fade
Like the future becomes the past
Only what you do for Jesus Christ will last
Everything else will fade
Like the future becomes the past

(Remember only)
Remember only what you do for Christ will last
(Remember only)
Remember only what you do for Christ will last...
