Oh, the pleasures that abound
Sex, drugs, booze and more
Oh Look! Bigger! Newer! Better!
Chase it all ever more.
That's it. That's all it really is
Chasing after something more
Can't find a way to fill
The void inside. Can't open the door.
Keep on chasing after the wind
I filled the void. Of this I'm free!
The door was opened when I said
Jesus Christ loved and died for me!
You'll never fill that spot within
Chasing after the world's sin
Go ahead and laugh
You are the one on the road of spin.
Spinning around always wanting
Anything! Everything! Never enough
Buy this! Buy that! Try this! Try that!
Oh how that road is tough.
It's a never ending whirlpool
The pleasures that you seek
Personally I'm glad I left it
I am free my God to seek.
Pleasure. Oh how I thought that gaining things would give happiness. Only with everything I ever had it was not enough. It never can be I realize. All the chasing of pleasure will never fulfill a person. You will always crave more. I quit. As the apostle said he learned to be content. Hmmm he learned. Well I pray to learn this important lesson. A contentment so great that beaten and imprisoned I can receive a piece of hard bread and actually lift my arms, give real thanks, and rejoice in my Lord! That is contentment. To be satisfied with what is. Not to strive for what is not. To give praise no matter the circumstances. No matter the situation. To know you are not facing this alone. Always there is someone watching you with love. You will never be given more then you can bear. He knows how much you can take. He bears it with you.
