Fortune Fades, Faith Endures – Psalm 49

Verse 1:
I hear the rich boasting of their wealth
Their confidence in riches, their greatest health
But can they redeem their soul from the grave?
Their wealth cannot save, it cannot pave

Chorus:
Fortune fades, faith endures
Our hope in God, our salvation sure
Wealth can’t buy eternal life
Only Jesus’ sacrifice

Verse 2:
Even the wise, the foolish, they die the same
Their wealth left behind, their legacy in vain
We can’t take it with us, we can’t cheat death
Only in Christ, we draw our final breath

Chorus:
Fortune fades, faith endures
Our hope in God, our salvation sure
Wealth can’t buy eternal life
Only Jesus’ sacrifice

Bridge:
Our hope in God, our refuge and shield
He will redeem us, He will never yield
So let us not fear when the rich boast
Their wealth will vanish, like a ghost

Chorus:
Fortune fades, faith endures
Our hope in God, our salvation sure
Wealth can’t buy eternal life
Only Jesus’ sacrifice

Outro:
Fortune fades, faith endures
Our hope in God, our salvation sure
Fortune fades, faith endures
Our hope in God, forever secure.
