Something I didn't have........

Goodly Heritage


1) I may not have riches as some others may
But I have a mother who knows how to pray
And maybe there's some things I've missed in my youth
But I have a father who stands for the truth

Chorus:

I have a goodly heritage
I'm blessed with things you can't see
I have a goodly heritage
And that is worth far more to me

2) And if in the future, my parents pass on,
To dwell in that City we've come to call Home
They may not leave me the goods of this world
But I have accepted their God and His Word

Chorus

I have a goodly heritage

I'm blessed with things you can't see
I have a goodly heritage
And that is worth far more to me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`



I have everything, all that I need
All that I need, treasures unseen,
And that is worth far more to me


I did NOT have a goodly heritage.  I did have parents that loved me, but they did not know the Lord.  I did not grow up with a mom that prayed. My dad did not stand for truth.  I got saved when I was 19 and already on my own.  My mother has been saved for many years,(10?) but I was not brought up with God and His Word.  I love my parents.........I am not as sorry for not having a 'Goodly Heritage' for myself.  I know the truth and know where I will spend eternity.  I just wish my dad knew..........

Kids that were brought up by parents that loved the Lord and were 'blessed with things you cannot see', have NO idea what it is like to grow up in a home where the Lord was a cuss word. 
Don't throw your blessing away.
If you were not brought up with parents that loved the Lord, make sure your own kids are.
