Karen

I’ve always been friendly to the people I meet

But I don't need the rush of a crowded street

I’m happy in the quiet, just keeping to myself

I found a different kind of peace, a different kind of wealth

My name is Karen, and I walk a simple road

I let the Good Lord carry my load

'Cause what does it profit a man

To hold the whole world in the palm of his hand

If he trades away the one thing that makes him whole?

What good is the world if you lose your own soul?

I don't need the silver, I don't need the gold

I've got a treasure that can't be bought or sold

I remember the day that my spirit was changed

I looked up to heaven and called on His name

I accepted the Lord as my Savior and guide

And felt all the heavy weight vanish inside

I still love my neighbor, though I stay out of the crowd

My faith is an anchor that doesn't have to be loud

'Cause what does it profit a man

To hold the whole world in the palm of his hand

If he trades away the one thing that makes him whole?

What good is the world if you lose your own soul?

I don't need the silver, I don't need the gold

I've got a treasure that can't be bought or sold

Some folks are chasing after kingdoms of dust

But I’m putting my hope in the one that I trust

I'll keep a loving heart as the years roll on by

With my feet on the earth and my eyes on the sky

'Cause what does it profit a man

To hold the whole world in the palm of his hand

If he trades away the one thing that makes him whole?

What good is the world if you lose your own soul?

I don't need the silver, no I don't need the gold

I've got a treasure that can't be bought or sold

Yeah, I've got my Savior, and a quiet, peaceful soul
