That kind of wealth

That kind of wealth
by Joel Howard

What matters? 
Is it the gold?
Is it the money?
The wealth untold?

That kind of wealth
Will rot and wither
That kind of wealth
All souls does tempt
That kind of wealth
Is all or nothing
That kind of wealth
That kind of wealth

But the words
From your lips
O God my king
Truest treasure
Greatest ring
Delight of ages
Ancient sayings
Wisdom, Jesus
You are the better

That kind of wealth
God, your words
That kind of wealth
Lord, your commands
That kind of wealth
I will go there
That kind of wealth
That kind of wealth

Check my investments
Weigh my stocks
See their yield
Give it all I've got
God, be good to me
Make me richer
Make me wealthy
In what's lasting
Not what's fading

That kind of wealth
Child, I tell you
Store up scripture
Store up oil
Store up lasting
Tales of grandeur
Store up stories
Know them, daughter

Get them, son
Know them backwards
Front and inside
This is true life
This, a river
None is better
Turn from evil
Know him 'ever

That kind of wealth
No regrets
Though it costs you
All you have
That kind of wealth
Do it, buy it
Adjust your life
To seek and find it

Read it, sing it
Chew it, eat it
When you're done
Begin to repeat it
Have it, hold it
Know it, love it
Christ, the wealth
God, the sayer

Words will make you
Ready always
In the dark
And in Satan's hallways
Shadows deter none
Who have this one
One - this Jesus
That kind of wealth
That kind of wealth

Grow and grow
Sow and sow
Go and go
Child, I know
None is better
None is sweeter
Jesus, he is 
The all-things beater!

That kind of teacher
That kind of leader
That kind of counsel
That kind, 'bove all else
Grant me, Jesus
And my children
To have this one thing
One song to sing
That kind is everything!
