WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN?
(Words and Music by Tennyson Walters)
 
Material possessions
And their obsessions
Consume the lives of many
It breeds indiscretions
Unholy connections
In the pursuit of plenty
You can’t sleep at night
Well that is the price
The toll that you pay
On vanity’s highway
 
What does it profit a man?
What does it profit a man?
To gain the whole world
But lose his own soul
When it unfurls
Cause his heart is so cold
Hell’s the only heat that he’ll know
Hell’s the only heat that he’ll know
 
Continue your compulsions
You’ll have convulsions
Spewing your life away
Change your direction
Relocate your affections
Know Jesus He is the Way
Wealth it is fleeting
Mentally depleting
Trying to stay ahead
Away from the red
  
What does it profit a man?
What does it profit a man?
To gain the whole world
But lose his own soul
When it unfurls
Cause his heart is so cold
Hell’s the only heat that he’ll know
Hell’s the only heat that he’ll know
 
OOOH OOOH Yeah Yeah
All these things that you see
Shall all one-day pass away
 
What does it profit a man?
What does it profit a man?
To gain the whole world
But lose his own soul
When it unfurls
Cause his heart is so cold
Hell’s the only heat that he’ll know
Hell’s the only heat that he’ll know (Repeat)
