Jewels and Gold

The nature of accomplishments will leave you void and cold

in heaven's eyes they're hollow, but true worship is pure gold

Stand up and speak one word of awe, of worship and of praise

And you erect a monument that lasts eternal days.

Heaven knows its value and nothing shall erase

Your blessing of eternal God- it keeps its rightful place

Worship is the missing jewel that God is cheated of

The more you give, the more you'll have, tho you'll never get enough

So if you'd build a store in heaven, your worship is its measure

It forms a rare and beautiful trove of matchless treasure
