Success

Success is often measured

With the wealth at hand

For little else is treasured

Within the souls of men

And with our gains so pleasured

More power we do seek

For success is often measured

By our power o’er the meek

Some do turn to intellect

And words for cunning speech

For success is sometimes measured

By how eloquently we speak

And with our thoughts so handy

We busy our lives with work

For the gaining of success

Is found in restless burden

With all our worldly ways

We measure up a man

And never once consider

How God created him

For success is measured empty

With a fallen worldly view

But is found in highest standard

When filled with Godly truth

So Let us now consider

How our success should grow

For a man’s success is greatest

When he loves with all his heart can show
