Vanity by Marrio Esco Lyrics
1st Verse
Life’s about nothing is it true can it be/
Can life obtain a purpose if everything is vanity
My family’s depending on me, to be the man that God demands of me
I dive in the Word where He’s commanding me
Leading me, showing me that He’s the only Deity
He came down in the flesh was sacrificed His blood leaked for me
Speak to me, as read the Word my Lord’s feeding me
I’m grateful for salvation cause really my Lord ain’t needing me
Could it really be
This enemy of God is saved by the Savior forgiven for all eternity
This truth burns in me even with my infirmities
I think of Christ and what He’s done for me there is no turning me
The purpose isn’t riches fame or even less strife
Cause nothing can be taken with you in the next life
Forget about opinions, what does the Master say
Cause we will face Him when He comes or when we pass away
Chorus
Vanity of vanities all is vanity
We labor all day and night but what do we achieve
A generation goes, a generation comes
But the earth remains forever nothing’s new under the sun
Fear God and all of His commandments
Most don’t understand it but this is the duty of man
The whole duty of man
The whole duty of man
2nd Verse
Is our purpose cash money and a lot of fortune
Are we living in a game till we're in a coffin
I'm thinking this is something they don't ponder often
Cause often they're in the fast lane ignoring caution
They hear the warning, but they hit the snooze
Not even alarmed pray they're drawn by the Gospel news
They're hostile dudes, I was hostile too
Till the Lord came and re-arranged my entire view
Now I'm seeing right through all them lies
That the world prized cause the Lord opened up my eyes
And my ears, He took away my heart of stone with its fears
And yeah if you don't believe the punishment is severe
Believe in who, believe in the Christ
Who was sent, lived a perfect life then was sacrificed
On the third day He rose, His power was exposed
To secure salvation for the ones that He has chose
Chorus
Bridge
I don't know why He chose me
But I must be faithful to what He shows me
And what He shows me is that all is vanity
Apart from the Son then you and I are eternally done
Life’s about nothing is it true can it be/
Can life obtain a purpose if everything is vanity
My family’s depending on me, to be the man that God demands of me
I dive in the Word where He’s commanding me
Leading me, showing me that He’s the only Deity
He came down in the flesh was sacrificed His blood leaked for me
Speak to me, as read the Word my Lord’s feeding me
I’m grateful for salvation cause really my Lord ain’t needing me
Could it really be
This enemy of God is saved by the Savior forgiven for all eternity
This truth burns in me even with my infirmities
I think of Christ and what He’s done for me there is no turning me
The purpose isn’t riches fame or even less strife
Cause nothing can be taken with you in the next life
Forget about opinions, what does the Master say
Cause we will face Him when He comes or when we pass away
Chorus
Vanity of vanities all is vanity
We labor all day and night but what do we achieve
A generation goes, a generation comes
But the earth remains forever nothing’s new under the sun
Fear God and all of His commandments
Most don’t understand it but this is the duty of man
