The Crown

from Siloam by The August Guns

about

Mk 8:36- What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

Jms 4:14- Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

Rev 4:9-11- And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created."

Rev 20:11-15- Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

lyrics

What makes a king? Is it the finer things? To have
what other men desire?
If he gains the world but loses his soul, what does he acquire?
He’s but a breath, he’s but a vapor, here today tomorrow gone
And what is left after his stay here? Will his kingdom carry on?

Can’t carry the crown
Oh cast it down,
sing out the sound

If all breath is a loan bartered on borrowed time we can chase after gold or toward what truly
shines when the great and the small either rise or they fall but we all get our turn in the line
And the man with the money, the power,
the fame, he won’t take precedence. He’ll be treated the
same as the vagrant, the marked, with a wide open heart we will know if we’re naked or named
