Does it really matter? (Vol 2 No 57)
We wonder if it matters,
If what we’re told is true
That having many assets
Is what we must pursue?
We cannot ask possessions
To bring us hope and peace;
From endlessly consuming
We seek and need release.
We wonder if it matters,
If what we’re told is true
That gaining extra status
Is what we need to do?
We wonder if it matters
To climb the social scale?
Is this the only measure
To judge our pass or fail?
From Jesus and his message
We gain equality;
Have wealth and fame or nothing
Be monarch, refugee,
In Jesus we are equal
No matter what our past;
For status does not matter;
In fact, the ‘first’ is ‘last’!
We wonder what might matter;
We question what is true;
We listen to his teaching;
His wisdom old, yet new;
From Jesus we have guidance;
His insights, so profound;
If we but follow closely
Then hope and love abound.
