"I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind." - Ecclesiastes 1:14 ESV
They’ve been standin’ in line for days
Pushin’ their way to the front
Paying to have greatness
On the tip of their toungues
The time has finally come –
And when the clock struck midnight
The whole crowd went dumb
So awestruck and amazed
That you’d think that it was something
That the Lord had made
But the reality is
That the object of devotion and praise
Was made by a young girl in a sweatshop
Working for twenty cents a day
And the dude they pay homage to
Most of ’em have never even seen him play
It’s a fashion statement – a status symbol
Meant to portray what’s hot in the street
But contrary to the namesake
The high cost don’t get you no further
From the ground beneath your feet...
(Ecclesiastes 1:14-17; 2:11-26; 4:4-16; 6:9; Mark 8:36)
Soli Deo Gloria,
Shon
