I indulge my great life,
To the fullest degree,
My creed while alive is:
What’s in it for me?
What thrill do I get now?
Does it fill my heart with glee?
Who really cares about others?
What’s in it for me?
This self–absorbed life,
Is the one I know best,
By feeding my own soul,
I rise above the rest.
Yet I can’t help but think,
There might be more I’m not seeing,
Am I missing out on something,
That would enthral my whole being?
I can’t find more to life,
From anything down here,
I wonder if God would show me,
If to His place I draw near?
Well, it’s worth a try right now,
God knows I’ve done the rest,
I wonder how I’ll react to God,
Will I be fearful or be blessed?
Okay, God, I’m knocking on Your door,
If anyone knows more about life, it’s You,
Inside I feel You must be real,
I want to see a different point of view.
Wow, I sense God’s presence is around,
I have never felt like this before,
This is so freeing and alive to me,
This is just a taste, and I must have more.
I want to be reconciled to You, God,
Please tell me where do I start?
I believe that Jesus came to earth,
To exchange my selfish heart.
I receive this great exchange, Jesus,
Being made new as before God, I stand,
This new reality is enthralling my mind,
I want to walk with You, hand in hand.
I feel I’m transformed into a new being,
The self-absorbed life seems so trite,
A life with You, God, is above the rest,
Help me love You with all my might.
I needed a different creed to live by,
The old one is just sad and spent,
God, I want to walk in Your goodness,
My old selfish creed, I now relent.
Now, this revelation has come to me,
That a change of my creed was overdue,
Each day my greatest fulfilment is to find,
What’s in it for You, God? What’s in it for You?
