True Wealth

What's His is Mine, What's mine is His
I feel hope arise when I think on this
Co heirs with Christ in wealth we abound
In all things above and on the ground
I may be poor in the eyes of the world
But my Father is rich and in Him I am full
Of mercy, grace, knowledge and wisdom
Love, hope, and a heavenly kingdom
I may struggle here from day to day
But my Father and His son have paved the way
Christ paid a debt He did not owe
So that my heart and my life might overflow
With riches and wealth beyond what I could imagine
He pours more on me than I could fathom
Why would God make me co heir with Him?
Why would He bless me with all my sin?
Because He loves me, that's why.
He sent His son out of love
And accepting His gift I'm promised a future above
And here on earth His blessings are not withheld
Have you ever seen sunshine or a baby held?
Do you know what it feels like to be in love
Heard the ocean or seen blue skies above?
His richness wraps us up like a band
Surrounding us like our feet in soft sand.
Can you imagine holding the world in the palm of your hand?
My Father longs for you to be co heirs with Him
To share in His wealth from beginning to end
All you have to do is accept His free gift
Then all your struggles and burdens He will lift
He'll carry your burdens He'll help you through
And His riches will abound in you.
Do this and you'll see what life really has to offer
Money and possessions will take a back seat to the Father
True wealth is found in the arms of Christ
True wealth is yours paid with a price
The price of His blood that was shed for you
Imagine that, there's nothing you had to do.
