Some believe that riches
Are power or fame
But those who were touched from above
Know where true peace remains

I am the richest man in the world
Not because I have a fortune
But because I hold the true fortune
For my fortune is peace

My treasure is not of this world
My inheritance comes from heaven
All the money that I carry
Is only a tool, nothing more

It serves me in my daily life
With it I buy my food
But never my peace
With it I pay my debts
But it was never money
That gave me peace

I am the richest man in the world
Not because I can buy
But because what I need most
No one else can give me
The peace that lives within me
Comes from my father above
I cannot buy it
The peace that lives within me
Comes from my father
And I cannot deny it

No fame, no honored title matters
Yet I bear a greater name
To whom my praise is given
While some choose to walk alone
I walk with the lord
He is the bread that never fails me
My true north, my strong refuge

What good is endless money
If a life holds no peace
They grow old, and they die
But they do not rest in peace
The flesh loosens from the bones
Yet they never loosen from their gold

I am the richest man in the world
Not because I have a fortune
But because I hold the true fortune
For my fortune is peace
Life passes swiftly by
I stand on what endures
For peace is what builds the most
