John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son,
who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee-Carrie Underwood
We cannot buy the things that only God grants, through His love
The pelf and pleasure of this world can never satisfy
No bag or box or bank account is ever big enough
To hold or purchase happiness, no matter how we try
We cannot buy the hope that only God grants through his Son
His death and resurrection purchased hope for everyone
We cannot buy pure joy or peace only God grants, through grace
His joy in us makes joy complete; nothing can take His place
How futile is the search for happiness then, without He
Who gives us all things richly to enjoy, through salvation
By faith, may see His glory too, the glory of God's son
The things that truly satisfy, cannot be bought or sold
No matter how we try we cannot purchase happiness
Only God grants The Gift that transcends this world's transient hold
Silver and gold can never buy His precious promises
The best gift we can never buy and only God can grant
Is free to all who call on Him; the Saviour of the soul
Though we may gain the whole world, without God's best gift we can't
Find hope, truth, peace or joy; these come through faith that makes us whole

Ps.146:5
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the LORD his God:
Matthew 16:26
What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?
What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?
Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
