We Are Messengers' song reflects on the fleeting nature of earthly pursuits and the enduring value of faith, hope, and love. The lyrics contrast the temporary glory of building an empire or being a king with the eternal significance of following Jesus and shedding sin. The song urges listeners to focus on what truly matters, storing treasure in heaven rather than chasing worldly success. It incorporates a classic hymn reference, turning eyes upon Jesus, to emphasize that earthly concerns fade in the light of His glory and grace. The message is a gentle reminder of the lasting importance of these three virtues.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Still trying to build an empire
Still trying to be a king
Still trying to follow Jesus
Still trying to shake that sin
I can't be polishing my own crown
When I remember Yours was made of thorns
Oh the only things that matter
Aren't always given the applause
And after all is said and done
And everything returns to dust
Faith hope love
These three things remain
Faith hope love
These three things remain
Nobody is a rich man
On the day they're laid to rest
Don't spend your lifetime chasing
What's already second best
There's a feeling we remember
From the people who've already left
If you're gonna store your treasure
Make sure it's heaven kept
And after all is said and done
And everything returns to dust
Faith hope love
These three things remain
Faith hope love
These three things remain
These three things remain
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Faith hope love
These three things remain
Faith hope love
These three things remain
Faith hope love
These three things remain
Faith hope love
These three things remain
These three things remain
