Consider the lilies, He says
Clothed gloriously in nudity
What will I wear when I’m naked?
When I strip away my fashion and toys
Will I find my treasure is gone?

Solomon had not the wealth, He says,
Too many robes, women, cares
What do I have with my wealth?
Conflicting choices, heated flesh
Why is this treasure so heavy?

Do not worry, He says
The Father knows I need these things
What will I wear when I’m naked?
When He sees what I think I can’t give up
Will I trade my treasure?

Do not be afraid, He says
Seek the kingdom and you will find
Yet the flesh voice whispers
But what will I wear when I am naked?
What treasure then?

Your Heart, He says
Sell what you have, give it up
You will wear your heart in Mine
A treasure that cannot be stolen
A treasure eternal stored away
