Just a Handful

By Ivan Costa

Lord I don't want earthly riches that so many people prize,

but I pray for just a handful of the simple things in life.

Chorus:

Lord I pray for just a handful,

and for quiet in my soul.

Help me spurn the greed of others,

and use my handful for the Lord.

I had nothing when I entered as a new born baby child.

I'll have nothing when my loved ones come to say their last goodbyes.

Chorus

Oh the quiet that we forfeit over wealth and keeping up.

Never learning in our hurry that a handful is enough.

Chorus
