Am I content with the worldly possessions given me
Am I continually looking for more to make me feel free

Contentment comes not from worldly possessions 
Contentment comes from the heart within, relieving me of my obsessions 

Only the Peace that comes when I whisper his name will relieve me of my shame
Listening and following Jesus will surely ignite my internal flame

Thank you, God, for the contentment you gave
By sending Your Son Jesus, loosening the chains from the grave
