Nothing More

Many temptations my vanity affords me each day;
      The lust of the eyes and the pride of life can cause my feet to stray.
But only the Holy Spirit supplies my real need; I am satisfied with His store;
      God has my provision – I want all of that, and nothing more.

Beautiful homes and new cars I see wherever I drive,
      Many people living in prosperity and never having to strive.
King David saw all the wicked kings about him, enjoying wealth galore;
      God showed Him earthly riches is all they would receive – all of that, and nothing more.


God blessed King Solomon with wealth untold and wisdom above all others.
      He had all life could offer: many servants, wives, and brothers,
Lands and fame; God withheld nothing his heart could adore;
      Still his soul was vexed. Lord, give me only my pleasant food – all of that, and nothing more.


Satan dangles a beautiful golden carrot before my face;
      He assures me, if I can only reach it, all my sorrows will be erased.
Jesus said, “'If you suffer with Me, you will also reign with Me,' My heart they tore.”
      I say, “Yes, Lord, I will bear my cross – I want all of that, and nothing more.”

Psalm 51:7
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”


The six-pointed Star of David is the symbol of the hyssop blossom. I have adopted the Star of David as an emblem of God’s Goodness, and Salvation.
