He Had Everything

Chorus:

He had everything (everything he wanted) (yes he had it all), everything that he dreamed (that he dreamed) (all he dreamed)

He had everything (everything he wanted) (yes he had it all), all he wanted it seemed (that he wanted) (all it seemed)

But the more he had and the more he learned

There was something not there

To fill the void within him, Oh where - Oh where

Everything he gathered he had made by himself

Or so he always had believed

Self-reliant living always brought him success

Just consider all he had achieved

But the clock was running out on going his way

Placing all his hopes upon his wealth

Sooner than later he would come face to face

No man can live unto himself (unto himself)

Repeat Chorus

Everything he touched it seemed would turn into gold

Or at least it always did appear

As his heart was slowing down and growing so cold

Finding satisfaction no where near

Then his body lost its way, began to shut down

Leaving him with nothing to control

Abruptly showing him with nothing to live for

And now nothing within his soul (in his soul)

Repeat Chorus

(Everything he wanted, that he dreamed)

Scriptural Reference:

"People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." 1 Timothy 6:9-10
