What do we seek to find
And end up with a rind
When our hope is focused
On our desires and lusts
Our reward is a crust

We look for joy
And find it not
For we settle
For a little
And spend a lot

Not so for Him
He did look forward
Through the pain of the day
To that day beyond
And to that future joy
That held His gaze

Hebrews can say
When for the joy
Set before Him
He bore the cross
Twas you and me
He thought of.
