Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He built his kingdom on silver and gold
Name in the lights, but his heart grew cold
Chased every dream that the world could give
But forgot the One who helps us truly live
[Pre-Chorus]
He climbed so high, but he fell so low
With empty hands and a heavy soul
And a voice from Heaven began to cry:
“Child, do you know why…?”
[Chorus]
What shall it profit a man
To gain the world and lose his soul?
What’s the price of fame
If your heart can’t be made whole?
You can run this race,
But without My grace
You’re just chasing the wind,
So turn back again —
What shall it profit a man?
[Verse 2]
She wore her crown, dressed in pride and pearls
Caught in the current of this fleeting world
She never lacked, yet she still felt poor
Till she heard a knock at her spirit’s door
[Pre-Chorus]
He stood outside with a nail-scarred hand
Said, “Come to Me, I’ll help you stand”
And the truth rang out like a trumpet sound:
“What’s lost can still be found!”
[Chorus]
What shall it profit a man
To gain the world and lose his soul?
What’s the point of gain
If it costs your very soul?
You can rise so high,
Still be empty inside
Let the Savior come in,
Let your healing begin —
What shall it profit a man?
[Bridge]
The treasures of this life will fade
Only what’s done in love remains
No mansion can compare
To the joy He has prepared
If you lay it all down, He’ll lift you again!
[Final Chorus – Modulated]
What shall it profit a man
To gain the world and lose his soul?
He’s calling your name,
Come back and be made whole!
Don’t wait too long,
Come where you belong —
Jesus paid it in full,
Let Him rescue your soul
Oh, what shall it profit a man?
