They built their mansions… and their streets of gold
They erected bridges… of artistic greatness untold.
But none was ever …earnest of crown
And with time…they all fell down.

They recreated…human life in a tube
They built casinos…so all should lose.
But none was ever… earnest of crown
And in time…they too… all fell down.

They published books…of lust and greed
They fed in those… in need.
But none was ever… earnest of crown
And in time…they all fell down.

He died upon a cross for man
He did as… His Father had planned.
And all was earnest of His crown.
For nothing He made or touched... has ever fallen down.

But stood all… of time that’s since been found.
But what man makes… if not of God
Will …all fall down!
