Blessed beyond my dreams
But it don't mean nothing
Life's not good as it seems
Love and riches
What do they really mean
They may come and go
But You will never leave so
Save Your treasure
We find our pleasure
All our joy is in You
Just want more of You so
Save Your treasure
We find our pleasure in You
You are our reward (You're our reward, oh, Your presence)
Your presence is a gift (Your presence is a gift)
Your presence is a gift (and I'm thankful because)
For You (You), You are our reward (You're our reward)
(Your presence) Your presence is a gift
(Your presence is a gift) Your presence is a gift
Ooh
Father we're desperate for Your presence
Like we need air, like we need water
More than anything, we need Your presence
Save Your treasure (we find)
We find our pleasure (we find our pleasure)
All our joy is in You (in Your presence there's fullness of joy)
We want more of You so (and in Your right hand pleasures forevermore, so save)
Save Your treasure
(We find) we find our pleasure (we found our pleasure, is in You)
Is in you
You are our reward
(Your presence) Your presence is a gift

(Give you Praise, Lord, presence) Your presence is a gift
(In your presence that full of some Joy) Your presence is a gift
(And your right hand, that's pleasure's for Your humble)
Having You (having You) it is plenty (is plenty)

I said You (You)
You're Jehovah-jireh (You are our reward)
You're Jehovah-shammah
You're Jehovah-tsidkenu
I said Your presence (Your presence is a gift)
Your presence is a gift (Your presence is a gift)
And my hands are lifting because of You (You)
I said You (You are our reward)
Your presence is a gift (Your presence is)
Mm, yes it is (our gift, our gift)

The lyrics to Alex E. Smith's song The World Is Yours speak to the idea that true happiness and satisfaction cannot be found in material possessions or wealth, but only in the presence of a higher power. The lyrics explore the concept of finding pleasure and joy in God and his presence, rather than in the transient nature of worldly riches. The song emphasizes the importance of valuing God as a reward above all else, and the power of his presence to bring true fulfillment.
The lyrics express a desperate need for God's presence and the impact it has on one's life. The phrase "more than anything, we need your presence" exemplifies the longing for a deeper connection with God, and the belief that true satisfaction can only be found in his presence. The repetition of the phrase "Your presence is a gift" emphasizes the importance and value that this connection holds in the singer's life.
The song speaks to the idea that the accumulation of wealth and possessions are not what brings true happiness, but rather serving and worshiping God. The message encourages the listener to find joy in their relationship with God, not in material things. The lyrics resonate with people who feel disconnected from an aspect in their lives.
