"Having It With Him" is a Christian poem that offers an encouragement to pursue God and his plans over worldly ones.

Having It With Him

It's a risk serving God but a greater one by not doing it.
You were created for his pleasure. What he says, pursue it.

Go after the great things, not the things that please your eyes.
The grass may look green but evil spirits are behind.

Behind high places. Behind mansions and cars.

Behind bright lights. Behind celebrities and stars.

Behind the music industry. Behind show business.
Worldly success has limits but there's none to God's greatness.

Don't chase poverty. Being rich is not wrong.
But stay grounded in God, don't try to build your own throne.

God is the light. Nothing is brighter than him.
You can have heaven on earth but it's better.
