What Does It Profit A Man?



What Does It Profit A Man?

(Rich Mullins)

What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul?
What are his friends to him when, if he never knows God, he can never be whole?
I went to my cupboard. But, my cupboard was bare.
Somehow, I forgot that God was really still there.
'Till I went to the grocery and saw the loneliness in the eyes of poor and rich people.
And, that's when the Lord made me finally realize.
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul?
What are his friends to him when, if he never knows God, he can never be whole?
He showed me the wildflowers that neither spin nor sow.
He said, "Look at Solomon and tell me how does his glory go?"
He showed me the sparrows, and I saw them full and free!
The Lord said, "All ye that labor and are heavy burdened, won't you come unto Me!"
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul?
What are his friends to him when, if he never knows God, he can never be whole?
Seek ye first the Kingdom, and all you see is yours!
Seek ye first the glory, oh, the glory of the Lord!
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul?
What are his friends to him when, if he never knows God, he can never, never be whole?
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul?
What are his friends to him when, if he never knows God, he can never be whole?
