Here are fortunes in a lifetime
All our money cannot buy
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 the 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
