Destined for a Fall - Perry Boardman
There
was a people long ago
Who had great riches, wealth untold;
They built a city with a wall,
A kingdom they thought would never fall.
How
they labored unceasingly
To
lay up treasure increasingly;
They
gave no thought to what lay beyond,
That
their kingdom would someday be gone.
But
one by one the stones came down;
The
city was leveled to the ground,
No
more fortune to be found,
No
one left to wear a crown.
The
mighty kingdom fell at last;
Its
beauty's gone, its pleasure's past;
All
was lost they sought to gain,
Their
lives were wasted, their labor vain.
You
can build a kingdom with a mighty wall,
But
like the kingdom long ago, it is destined for a fall,
Unless
Christ the Lord becomes your King
And
ruler of everything.
