There are fortunes in a lifetime
Like a tiny little snowflake,
slowly floating from the sky.
Oh, there are wonders never -ceasing,
created by our Master's hand.
But the greatest of all our fortunes
Is in God's promised land
Oh, the rich man with all of his money
All his silver and all his gold
Oh, he can't buy one breath of life
Or a home for his weary soul
For it is bought and it is paid for
By the blood of the blessed Lamb
But the greatest of all our fortunes
is in God's promised land.
There are fortunes in a teardrop
Oh, there are fortunes in a smile
In the face of a weary pilgrim
Or the face of a little child
Oh, there are fortunes in your Bible,
if you'll read it you'll understand,
but the greatest of all our fortunes
is in God's promised land.
Oh, rich man with all of his money,
all his silver and all his gold
He can't buy one breath of life
or a home for his weary soul
For it is bought and it is paid for
By the blood of the blessed Lamb
But the greatest of all our fortunes
Is in God's promised land you
