Chris Howland - Simply Vanity (Feat. Chris Hird)

"Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after the wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun." - Ecclesiastes 2:11 Over and over again in Ecclesiastes, the theme is reinforced that life is short, we will soon perish, and much of what we do under the sun during these brief years is actually a bit meaningless. When I take an honest look at myself, I see that many of my ambitions are tainted by impure motives. I see that I put too much value on things that are not of eternal importance. I see that many of my dreams and pursuits are simply vanity. This song was written as a prayer. It's a confession of sin and a plea for renewal. It's an acknowledgement that I fall desperately short, and need God to make my heart long for things of true worth. "For when dreams increase and words grow many, there is vanity; but God is the one you must fear." - Ecclesiastes 5:7 "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." - Ecclesiastes 12:13 "Two little lines I heard one day, Traveling along life’s busy way; Bringing conviction to my heart, And from my mind would not depart; Only one life, twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last." -C.T. Studd Lyrics- VERSE 1: I grip so tightly Onto things that might be Quite unlikely To satisfy me My hands are holdin' Onto things so broken I think I've put my hope in A misdirected notion My eyes have drifted from You Lately I've come to see That everything I run to Is all just vanity PRE-CHORUS: I need You I need You more than anything But I cling to A million other lesser things Time is fading Wont You give me eyes to see So much of what I'm chasing Is simply vanity CHORUS: So much of what I'm chasing Is simply vanity So much of what I'm chasing Is simply vanity VERSE 2: My heart's divided Would You please unite it I need Your guidance Spirit please provide it I wanna know You I wanna please You I wanna go to The place You lead to My eyes have drifted from You Lately I've come to see That everything I run to Is all just vanity BRIDGE: Convict me, I'm guilty Forgive me Come heal me Please teach me To seek You Please reach me I need You PRE-CHORUS: I need You I need You more than anything But I cling to A million other lesser things Time is fading Wont You give me eyes to see So much of what I'm chasing Is simply vanity CHORUS: So much of what I'm chasing Is simply vanity So much of what I'm chasing Is simply vanity
