What Matters Most

Cheri Keaggy


Filling this verse with superlative words 
Making the most clever rhymes 
Wouldn't amount to much 
Just wouldn't count for much 
If you can't read between lines 
But I have discovered 
I've finally uncovered 
A most significant thing 
It's a noble theme 

What matters most 
Is how much we love 
What matters most 
Is how much we give 
What would it matter 
If we just lived 
Without loving our God 
Without loving each other 
Faith, hope and love, especially love 
That's what matters most 
What matters most 

Once just a girl 
In a curious world 
Learning the meaning of life 
Tell me what is the reason 
And why do the seasons keep turning 
The pages of time 
I had to discover the things from above 
For the days turn so quickly to years 
Then they disappear 

Not money, not power not fame or position 
Don't want it, don't need it don't give me religion 
All I wann hear 
All I wanna see 
All I wanna read about is 
All I wanna live 
All I wanna know 
All I wanna be about is 
Love, what matters most 
Givin' love, what matters most 

What matters most 
Is how much we love 
What matters most 
Is how much we give 
What would it matter if we just lived 
Without loving our God 
Without loving each other 
What matters most is 
How much we love 
Setting our sights 
On the needs of our brother 
Loving our neighbor as we love ourselves 
We give to the Lord 
When we give to eah other 
Faith, hope and love, especially love 
Faith, hope and love, especially love 
That's what matters most 
What matters most
