CONTENT
by Colin Moffett

The air to breathe and eyes to see
The simple things in life that’s free
Of shining sun and rain that falls
And ears to hear when a voice it calls
The sweet bird song of another dawn
To smell the flowers which border the lawn
To go through each day with strength and health
To be rich in love and not this worlds wealth
To be content with this; for wanting more is greed
To be blessed in life is all I need

To love and be loved with someone true
And being happy in all the things I do
Being thankful for water and food I’m fed
When a feast for others is a crust of bread
Not to seek for riches, fortune or fame
What does it matter if the world knows not my name?
Some things in life are just not meant
What is my lot I will be content
To change what God has ordained I simply can’t
But to do His will is all I want

To know He watches over me with love
My mighty Creator from Heaven above
When burdens are heavy He lifts the load
And guides my steps on the narrow road
What a peace I know the world can’t understand
To be led each day by the Saviours hand
Wealth will crumble and health will fade
But for my eternal soul He is its aid
To know it’s anchored in the Rock that Heaven sent
Is all I need or want and I am content
