Temporary Things Lyrics

Degarmo & Key Temporary Things

What's that round my ankles...
Are they vines of worldliness
Binding up my soul in a barren wilderness
It's a day to day struggle to survive for pleasure and
things
Open there's nothing...
A treasure with wings
Things come to steal steal your heart away
Right before your eyes your light starts to fade
And you wonder what it is your looking for

I don't want to live for tempoprary things

When I think back on the cross...
And the man who gave his life
I want to live for more than things that rust or die
I don't want to struggle for those things that pass away
I want to live my life for the things that never fade
And you wonder what it is you're looking for

I don't want to live for tempoprary things
