The Emptiness Lyrics

Meaningless, meaningless
Says the teacher
Utterly meaningless
Everything is meaningless
All things are wearisome
More than one can say
The eye never has enough of seeing
Or the ear of its hearing

Whoever loves money
Never has enough
Whoever loves income
His appetite is never satisfied
So then banish anxiety
From your heart
Cast off the troubles of your body
For youth and vigor are meaningless

So I tell you this
And insist on it in the Lord
That you must no longer live
As the Gentiles do
In futility of thought
Cast off your worldly skin
Take up the Word of God
Become empty of sin
