Success has deceived the world today
Even in the church, so many's gone astray
Their living in a world of fantasy, blinded by the pressures of this high society
Fame and fortune is they're reward
they don't know that man's glory
last for a season
They must know
What goes up must come down
Except when the Lord takes you on higher ground
Only what you do
for Jesus Christ will last
everything else will fade
like the future becomes the past
Only what you do
for Jesus Christ will last
everything else will fade
like the future becomes the past
They've gotta know
They must know (they must know)
They must know (they must know)
They must know (they must know)
They must know (they must know)
They must know (they must know)
Only what you do for Christ will last
Many dream their dreams
and set their minds to reach their goals
What will it profit a man
to gain this world and lose his soul?
A world of pride
where people are forced to compromise
But in the end
They know they're never really satisfied
They've gotta know
The world only gives guarantees that will not last
knowing not who holds the future,
who holds the present or the past
On Christ the rock you must stand
for the ground where you are standing
is nothing but sinking sand
Only what you do
for Jesus Christ will last
everything else will fade
like the future becomes the past
Only what you do
for Jesus Christ will last
everything else will fade
like the future becomes the past
Remember only what you do for Christ will last
Remember only what you do for Christ will last
Remember only what you do for Christ will last
