Glitter And Glory

They say diamonds are forever
Well I say only time will tell
They say money makes you happy
But I'm not buying what they sell

Oh 'cause beauty, fame and fortune
How they sparkle to the eye
And fireworks burn brightly
Till they fall out of the sky

Don't wanna live for something temporary
I've set my sights on eternity
A world of lesser things shines before me
But there's a difference between
Glitter and glory

Some will see their name in neon
Think they've finally got it made
But there always comes a moment
When they watch it fade away

I've seen power and possessions
Take an inch then take control
Don't wanna gain the world
But lose my soul

Don't wanna live for something temporary
I've set my sights on eternity
But there's a difference between
Glitter and glory

You're the treasure I seek
You're all that I need
God help me to see
The difference between
Glitter and glory

Don't wanna live for something temporary
I've set my sights on eternity
A world of lesser things shines before me
But there's a difference between
Glitter and glory

There will always come a moment
When the glitter fades away
