I look all around at all of life, and you know what I see?
Hopes, and dreams, futility and pain
And in all the world there is nothing, nothing to gain
Chorus:
Lives of pain with nothing to gain
Lives of gain with nothing retained
Don’t you pity these, the poor, the wretched, the blind
They have only this life that they can hope in
And in all the world all happiness is incomplete
Chorus:
Lives of pain with nothing to gain
Lives of gain with nothing retained
At the end of our life we all face the Judge
And I wonder, I wonder, how many have met Jesus Christ
For it’s few that seek, and fewer who obey
Chorus:
There livin’ lives of gain with nothing retained
Lives of pain with just hell to gain
Bridge:
But Jesus Christ made the sacrifice
For all who obey they find they’re not the same
When I die to myself I, I find that I have
Last Chorus:
Just this moment of pain, with Jesus to gain!
Just this moment of pain with eternity to gain!
Just this moment of pain, with heaven to gain!
With eternity to gain…
