Flesh and Bones

So alluring, so compelling
Wanting everything I see
It's so confusing
Separating the wants from the needs
Sometimes I don't know
What's really best for me

Flesh and bones
This world is not our home
Can't put trust in things that rust
Can't take hold if you don't own
Gotta say no to flesh and bones

I was just testing the water
I ended up over my head
Looking into the mirror
I see the old me I thought was dead
And the hopeless conclusion
My needs are not being met

Flesh and bones
This world is not our home
Can't put trust in things that rust
Can't take hold if you don't own
Gotta say no to flesh and bones

It was a valuable lesson
I gotta set my treasures in heaven
'Cause this world around me
Is filled with things enticing
Fulfilling though they seem to be
The glitter and gold are only passing
So when searching for everlasting
Can't entertain lies from the enemy
That wants my life to come up empty

Flesh and bones
This world is not our home
Can't put trust in things that rust
Can't take hold if you don't own
Gotta say no to flesh and bones
