Boast in the Lord Alone

[Boast in the Lord Alone]
[Verse 1]
Cast off the pride of life, cease chasing vain glory
Riches and honor, wealth and power, all pass like the wind
Like Saul in arrogance, do not defy God's command
Humbly lower yourself, exalt only the Lord
[Chorus]
Oh, boast in the Lord, sing of the cross's grace
Seek the glory of heaven, embrace eternal life
In the love of God the Father, our citizenship is in heaven
Forsake the vain world, follow only the Lord
[Verse 2]
Worldly boasts abound, lineage and children, clothes and jewels
Appearance and talents, connections and knowledge, all perishable things
As the Psalms say, like grass and flowers, glory fades in a moment
See the rich man's wretched end, escape the flames of punishment
[Chorus]
Oh, boast in the Lord, sing of the cross's grace
Seek the glory of heaven, embrace eternal life
In the love of God the Father, our citizenship is in heaven
Forsake the vain world, follow only the Lord
[Verse 3]
Gained through evil ways, deceit and slander, bribes and violence
The miserable fate of the powerful, shunned and pointed at
Like Solomon's realization, all toil is vanity
Find true satisfaction in the Lord, seek eternal value
[Chorus]
Oh, boast in the Lord, sing of the cross's grace
Seek the glory of heaven, embrace eternal life
In the love of God the Father, our citizenship is in heaven
Forsake the vain world, follow only the Lord
[Verse 4]
The Lord hates the proud heart, vain boasting is evil
Without repentance, seeking face, like Saul do not perish
Boast freely of the Lord's blessings and grace, give glory to God
The path to soul prosperity and rewards, return to Him
[Chorus]
Oh, boast in the Lord, sing of the cross's grace
Seek the glory of heaven, embrace eternal life
In the love of God the Father, our citizenship is in heaven
Forsake the vain world, follow only the Lord
[Verse 5]
Discern even in the church, hidden pride in spiritual boasts
Do not exalt in praise, give thanks in rebuke and change
Before the heavenly hosts, receive eternal boasting
Shine in God's justice, clothed in heavenly glory
[Chorus]
Oh, boast in the Lord, sing of the cross's grace
Seek the glory of heaven, embrace eternal life
In the love of God the Father, our citizenship is in heaven
Forsake the vain world, follow only the Lord
[Verse 6]
All people awaken, the pride of life is a vain dream
Waiting for Jesus Christ, transform lowly bodies to glory
Enjoy glory on earth and heaven, receive God's blessings
Place hope in eternity and advance, victory in the Lord's name
[Chorus]
Oh, boast in the Lord, sing of the cross's grace
Seek the glory of heaven, embrace eternal life
In the love of God the Father, our citizenship is in heaven
Forsake the vain world, follow only the Lord
