Lay Up. . .

Lay up your treasures in heaven;
Oh people, lay up your treasures in glory
Where nothing in this world will take them away;
Oh listen people hear the master say:
Come on and lay up your treasures in heaven,
Oh people, lay up your treasures in glory--
Your treasures in this world will fade away
But the things of the Lord will last forever, evermore!

Well the Lord looked up and saw the people there
Tied up with worry and burdened with care,
He said "Seek first the Kingdom and you will see
The things that will last for eternity.

Lay up your treasures in heaven;
Oh people, lay up your treasures in glory
Where nothing in this world will take them away;
Oh listen people hear the master say:
Come on and lay up your treasures in heaven,
Oh people, lay up your treasures in glory--
Your treasures in this world will fade away
But the things of the Lord will last forever, evermore!

"Some people trust in their silver and gold
They put their faith in the wealth they hold
But fortunes will fade and kingdoms fall
So put your trust in the Lord of all!

Lay up your treasures in heaven;
Oh people, lay up your treasures in glory
Where nothing in this world will take them away;
Oh listen people hear the master say:
Come on and lay up your treasures in heaven,
Oh people, lay up your treasures in glory--
Your treasures in this world will fade away
But the things of the Lord will last forever, evermore!
