This old world is gonna try

And sell you all kinda stuff

No matter how much you got

They say it?s not good enough.

You gotta buy and barter

Or you will never be whole.

Sometimes they want your money,

Other times they want your soul.

But it?s a lie,

And I ain?t buying it.

What I?ve got inside,

There?s no denying it.

Nothing in this world

Compares to You.

Only You are worthy,

Only You are true.

 Everywhere you look today

People are running in and out

Chasing dreams, or their own tails,

After stuff they can?t live without.

Still livin? in their prisons

Made of fear and doubt and greed,

Wonderin? why they?re gettin? nowhere

Hoping one day to be freed.

People! Please, stop and listen

To the thing I?m telling you.

You?ll never find the answer

Running around the way you do.

There is One standing ready,

Willing to carry your load

He?s already paid your debt

When He walked that Calvary road.

He is my Lord

We have decided it,

Best thing in my life,

There?s no denying it.

Nothing in this world

Compares to You,

Only You are worthy,

Only You are true.
