As Long As I Got Jesus


As Long As I Got Jesus

I don't care about life Not apart from God anyways I don't want it without him Even if I were to never run out of days

I don't care about money What can I buy that God can't provide? I can't buy his presence Or the feeling of him being by my side

I don't care about the world What good is it if it costs me my soul? I can own the entire planet But without God I'll never be made whole

I don't care what people may think I love you all but image doesn't phase me Living life based on how you want to look How you want others to think of you is crazy

I don't care about death It's a gift to me from my Lord In this life I feel his presence like a mist In the next one I'll feel it like it's poured

When the Lord calls me home Or when heaven and earth meet I'll take off my crown And I'll place it at Jesus' feet

Because I don't care about mansions

I don't care about streets made of gold All I care about is walking with Jesus And forever having his hand to hold
