Can't think of many places I'd leave it all to go.
Can't think of many things I'd die to hold.
The list of what is priceless is very short indeed,
And there aren't very many things I find I really need.
So, here's my simple creed:
Chorus:
The things that last forever,
The things that never die,
I'll give myself, each day I live,
For what I know will never, never die.
Yes, I will give myself away for things that will never die.
To know a love that's lasting, forgiveness without blame,
A peace that through the pressure still remains.
The simple joy of living,
My family and my friends;
Relationships that go on after space and time shall end.
I thank You, Lord, for them.
REPEAT CHORUS
To rescue someone dying
To lift a fallen child
To hurt when when someone's hurting
To walk the second mile
REPEAT CHORUS
The things that last forever
