scripture
Ecclesiastes 2:10-11
Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, For my heart rejoiced in all my labor; And this was my reward from all my labor. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done And on the labor in which I had toiled; And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun.
quote
“Blessed are the poor in spirit” means: “Blessed is the man who has realized his own utter helplessness, and who has put his whole trust in God.” If a man has realized his own utter helplessness, and has put his whole trust in God, there will enter into his life two things which are opposite sides of the same thing. He will become completely detached from things, for he will know that things have not got it in them to bring happiness or security; and he will become completely attached to God, for he will know that God alone can bring him help, and hope, and strength. The man who is poor in spirit is the man who has realized that things mean nothing, and that God means everything.

“Like It, Love It, Need It“
Under these circumstances, they can hardly cope
Notice their fleeting glances and their lack of hope
I offer this suggestion, they don’t seem to care-o
This is my generation, drowning in despair-o
You’ll never find peace of mind in your pool of self
You’ll never find peace of mind in a sea of wealth
You’ll never find peace of mind in your rock and roll
You’ll never find peace of mind if you sell your soul
You’ll never find peace of mind in your lucky charm
You’ll never find peace of mind on a hippie farm
You’ll never find peace of mind in a one-night stand
You’ll never find peace of mind in your superman
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some freedom from the strife
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some Jesus in your life
[some Jesus in your life, some Jesus in your life]
Like it, love it, need it, don’t leave it
Like it [don’t you like it? ]
Love it, need it [don’t you need it? ]
Don’t leave it
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need it
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you, God knows you need it
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need it
Some Jesus in your life
Jesus in your life
