What Does It Profit A Man?

I guess he's a good man

His record is clean

Twenty four seven

He never stops chasing his dreams

Nothing is missed

Every wish on his list

No matter how much

Still it's never enough

 

Tell me what does it profit a man?

To gain the whole world and still lose his soul

All the money, and houses and lands

Won't mean a thing when it's time to go

Did we shine with the light, and show them the Christ?

Cause love is the one truth that stands

If we build on the sand

Tell me what does it profit a man?

 

Now he made a promise

He kept to himself

Before it was over

He'd have more than anyone else

In time it came

All the riches and fame

But the day that he died

He was empty inside

Tell me what does it profit a man?

To gain the whole world and still lose his soul

All the money, and houses and lands

Won't mean a thing when it's time to go

Did we shine with the light, and show them the Christ?

Cause love is the one truth that stands

If we build on the sand

Tell me what does it profit a man?

 

Everything that we save

We can't take to the grave

Tell me what does it profit a man?

To gain the whole world and still lose his soul

All the money, and houses and lands

Won't mean a thing when it's time to go

Did we shine with the light, and show them the Christ?

Cause love is the one truth that stands

If we build on the sand

Tell me what does it profit a man?
