My Inheritance

This is a song that I came across while working at the JH Ranch for two summers during college. The song is called "My Inheritance" and it talks about how nothing in this world matters. We may inherit stuff on this earth, but God is our real and lasting inheritance. He is what we strive for....He is the goal. "...forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Philipians 3:13b-14



"My Inheritance"

What is silver and gold or anything I could hold
Compared to You, compared to You
What is fame and success, it’s all just vain emptiness
Compared to You, compared to You
All that You hold in store is all that I want O Lord

I WILL SHOUT, I WILL SING
JESUS YOU’RE MY EVERYTHING
YOU’RE MY TREASURE, MY INHERITANCE
I AM RICH, I AM BLESSED
IN YOUR LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS
YOU’RE MY TREASURE AND FOREVER
YOU ARE MY INHERITANCE

(Girls part)
YOU ARE MY PROTECTOR, MY PROVIDER
JESUS, YOU ARE MY INHERITANCE
YOU ARE MY REDEEMER, MY SUSTAINER
JESUS, YOU ARE MY INHERITANCE

My name has been changed from sinner to saint
Because of You, because of You
Now You call me Your own, I know heaven’s my home
Because of You, because of You
All that you hold in store is all that I want O Lord

AWESOME! I Love that song!
It is the same way I feel about my life. There is NOTHING about me to brag about except for JESUS. He is my everything! Without Him I am absolutely nothing!! How I love Him!
