Lyrics That's What Matters - God Album Version - Rebecca St. James

I read about this guy once
He seemed to own the earth
As far as big shots go
And people in the know, well

He was definitely top of the list
Anything he wanted, he'd get it
Society's dream, had lots of stuff
Had lots of money

But you know what's funny?
He said, it all was useless

Meaningless, meaningless
He said, "Everything is meaningless
A chase after the wind"

Don't wish for a better day
Be glad and use the one you're in
Fear God and do exactly what He says
That's what matters, all else fades like the flowers

Well, he'd tried pleasure
But there was nothing in that
He built houses and gardens, and parks
What good did it do?
Just got him more depressed

Meaningless, meaningless
He said, "Everything is meaningless
But this is what I learned in all my years"

Don't wish for a better day
Be glad and use the one you're in
Fear God and do exactly what He says
That's what matters, all else fades like the flowers

Like the flowers, like the flowers

Meaningless, meaningless
He said, "Everything is meaningless
A chase after the wind"

Don't wish for a better day
Be glad and use the one you're in
Fear God and do exactly what He says
That's what matters, all else fades away

Meaningful, meaningful
Life holds new meaning
When God becomes the center of it all

Read about another man once
He came to save the earth
You know I got to meet Him, Jesus
He revolutionized my whole entire life

He said, "Don't wish for a better day
And be glad and use the one you're in
Fear God and do exactly what He says
That's what matters, all else fades away like the flowers"

Don't wish for a better day
Be glad and use the one you're in
Fear God and do exactly what He says
That's what really matters, all else fades away

Don't wish for a better day
Don't wish, don't wish for a better day
And fear God and do exactly what He says
That's what matter
