Destined for a Fall

There was a people long ago

Who had great riches, wealth untold;

They built a city with a wall,

A kingdom they thought would never fall.

How they laboured unceasingly

To lay up treasure increasingly;

They gave no thought to what lay beyond,

That their kingdom would someday be gone.

But one by one the stones came down;

The city was levelled to the ground,

No more fortune to be found,

No one left to wear a crown.

The mighty kingdom fell at last;

Its beauty's gone, its pleasure's past;

All was lost they sought to gain,

Their lives were wasted, their labour vain.

You can build a kingdom with a mighty wall,

But like the kingdom long ago, it is destined for a fall,

Unless Christ the Lord becomes your King

And ruler of everything.

—Perry Boardman
