Vanity

Vanity

by Joel Howard

Go get the wind

Go chase the thing

You can't get

Vanity of vanities

I see you exhausted

Go and chase the wind

But never get it

Humble now yourself

See my "no" as "yes"

And never, son, forget

All my ways are loving

All my ways are wise

Though you do not see it

Now with your own mind

Cast all your anxieties on

Him who is expert in all of these, O

May your disappointment lead to

Him who searches all things

Cast all your perplexities

Son, lift up your eyes to Me

I will give you everything you

Everything you

Everything you need!

All else is vanity

Child come to Me!
