Where Is Your Heart and Treasure?
Where your heart is - is where your treasure is
and also where your thoughts will be.
Gosh, that kind of takes your breath away -
and it's not what we should let others see.

Just think about what you do each day -
are you thinking about what you want to buy?
Probably like me, you're thinking of new cars
and other things you want to try.

There are new houses bigger than ours
and we turn them into our most desired treasure.
Yes, there is your heart too full
of selfish pleasure.

Our treasures on Earth will pass away
and so will your physical heart - as you know.
So, how about we talk to God
about where our hearts should go.
