Lots of "stuff" that we get wrapped up in and attached too that doesn't really amount to much. Relationships with the people we love and being involved in helping others is what really matters and lasts in life.

Lyrics
The Things That Matter
Words by Michael D. Yoder and Eric Copeland
Music by Eric Copeland
A man whose bravely facing death;
A family left with only loneliness;
An aching soul searching for peace;
What’s to become of these?
A son whose wandered far from home;
A wounded heart that’s waiting by the phone;
A soul once lost in sin;
Now letting Jesus in, left all alone.
Through all the confusion we seem to lose sight
Of where the importance truly lies.
But the obvious answers they hide in the things
We see in our everyday lives.
These are the things,
These are the things,
These are the things that matter.
A newborn baby’s crying breath;
A mother’s warm embrace and tenderness;
A baby born king; the prince of peace He came;
for you and me.
All that remains now is:
Faith, Hope, and Love.
That’s where the importance truly lies.
By loving each other
With all of our heart
We learn in our everyday lives that…
These are the things,
These are the things,
These are the things that matter.
REPEAT
