In this life there are attractions
That will lure down a path
And there are times, when we all confuse
The endless with what will pass.

And I can't chase down the rainbow's end
I may find some treasure there
And one moment it will try and please
Then will vanish in the air.

Chorus:
If I acquired it all tomorrow
I know I would clearly see
Contained in all of life's momentoes
Nothing can satisfy me
Like Jesus, life Jesus.

Some will say that the strong survive
The powerful rule the earth
And there are those whose legacy
Is fame for what that's worth.

And I've been told I should seek these things
'Cause contentment's waiting by
And Lord I'll choose to follow a king
Whose treasures don't fade or die.

Chorus
