    Lyrics:
    All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
    But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
    But he's moving on full steam
    He's chasing the American dream
    And he's gonna give his family the finer things
    And he works and he builds with his own two hands
    And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
    But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
    Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
    His kingdom stands

    Casting Crowns are genius. They were groundbreaking when they first came out. They have taken "preaching to the choir" to a whole new level. I love their lyrics! Another thing: They can write a worship song with complex lyrics and melodies, and still have catchy and easily singable! That's what more people need to be doing: writing songs that are both poetic and singable.

    As a 50 year old man who has walked in Jacks shoes I can honestly say being an American father is not for the faint of heart. Looking back I regret missing the soccer games, evening dinners, and holiday events seeking the finer things. I would gladly hand over the keys to the BMW to watch one more soccer game my daughter played or kick the soccer ball with my her. Hmm sheet medal or a hug from your child. Fathers need to compete every day to protect their children and build a future. Modern society does not appreciate a father but other dads absolutely understand. God walked by my side while I ignored my family, but never left even when I cursed him for life's challenges. My only advice is when you spend moments away from your family make sure you will not regret this decision in the future. God bless you dads who fight for your family every day. Just do not cheat yourself or family out of the memories and incur future regrets. Money will never fill the hole in your heart. Your family and Jesus are there for you. Just love them and and enjoy the walk in the park, soccer game, ice cream, a baseball game, a Sunday sermon together.

      “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” (Matthew 7:24-27)

      for we all need Jesus, all sin and fall short of The glory of God and the wages of sin is death. the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord, for Jesus died on the cross and rose again and by His blood our sins are forgiven. there is no other way than Jesus for He is The Way The Truth The Life and no one comes to The Father except through Him. for it is by declaring with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you are saved see romans 10:9-13, i encourage you to read your Bible and invite The Holy Spirit to guide your mind as you read, john romans psalms luke and mark are good places to start. God bless God Jesus The Holy Spirit love you and be with you forevermore in Jesus Name we pray amen :) only One God our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ i am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. galatians 2:20 in Jesus Name we pray amen, pray for the peace of israel pray for those who are persucated for righteousness sake for their is the kingdom of heaven see matthew 5:10 pray for the brethren pray for me in all things praying for you in Jesus Name we pray amen may you believe in Jesus and be saved in Jesus Name we pray amen i encourage you to repent of your sins turn from them and come to believe in Jesus for it is by declaring with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you are saved and all who truly put their trust in Him will never be put to shame in Jesus Name we pray amen in Jesus Name we pray amen (see romans 10-11) for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, no one is promised tomorrow and Jesus alone saves all in Jesus Name we pray amen God bless God Jesus The Holy Spirit love you and be with you forevermore praying for you pray for me in all things through trials and temptations and sin and to be more Christ like everyday for Jesus is perfect and the same always in Jesus Name we pray men Jesus loves us all and died and rose again to save us all for by His blood our sins are forgiven, it is God's gift to us to be saved for we do not deserve it and we can not earn it but when we believe in Jesus we are saved and have passed over from death to life with God and Jesus forevermore in Jesus Name hey only God Jesus The Holy Spirit are perfect and only One God our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and we can be made righteous when we come to Jesus for while we have sinned and fall short of The glory of God Jesus The Holy Spirit but when we believe in Jesus and come to Him our sins are forgiven and we can turn from sin and wickedness and live a life worthy to Jesus in Jesus Name we pray amen Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? 7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? micah 6:6-8 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. john 14:6-7 do not use The Lord's Name in vain instead honor God love God with all heart soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself, believe in The One God has sent Jesus Christ for this is The Work of God in Jesus Name we pray amen That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. romans 10:9-13 only God Jesus The Holy Spirit are perfect and when we come to Jesus we can be saved for by His blood our sins are forgiven and when we believe we are saved, i encourage you to read your Bible for it alone is God's Word for us and invite The Holy Spirit into your life for it is God's Word and Spirit that give light and life to all for Jesus is The Living Word and all who believe in Jesus are saved and have passed over from death to life. they re no longer separated from God for eternity but have life and peace with God and Jesus forevermore, instead of being condemned to the lake of fire we have life in the new heaven the new earth and the new jerusalem where there is no more death or mourning or sorrow or crying or pain or sin for Jesus bore them all on the cross taking them away forevermore and when we truly believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior we are saved in Jesus Name we pray amen come into The Kingdom of Light accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today amen amen For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son john 3:16-18 come to know Jesus today He died on the cross for our sins and rose again, so we can live with Him forever because He loves us, by His blood He has victory over sin, death and hell amen. God Jesus The Holy Spirit love you amen God bless amen :)

    This suits my dad so well, which he too understands but sadly doesn't care about. When it comes to family or work he will always prioritize work no matter what. Because of this he's always coming home late (often arriving an hour+ after the time he said) or missing stuff, such as awards ceremonies at school. Not only that but whenever he has a bad day at work he'd always come home and take it out on us and our stuff using the excuse "my house, my rules". In fact it got so bad that a few years ago one day he actually kicked us out of the house. Now that we're living in another house he says he's sorry and that he wants to try to make amends for it, but I don't buy it since he's let me down too many times in the past. It's like "you've never wanted to interact with me like this before, so why start now?"
    Let this be a lesson to all parents: wanting to provide for your family is fine and understandable, but it shouldn't come at a cost of everything else including your family, cause eventually they'll get so fed up with your behavior and just leave you behind for better pastures if that makes sense. Basically just don't make the same mistakes my dad did. That's all, you've been warned.

    Very moving. It's a shame we often omit looking after what's most important in our lives in our quest to do the very best for our families.

    It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from. It doesn't matter if you're athiest or whatever. It has value in it, period. I remember I came to this video and saw someone saying, "This would be better if there weren't Mormon and Lady Gaga ads in the top of the related videos". Instead of letting it go, I argued. Now I've learned.
    The best songs are the songs that give values everyone can share.

    Many people in the world are brought to believe that no one owes you a living, God helps those who work for it, etc.... The fear of not doing enough to feed the family and support the myriad of loans causes people to dream the American/European/Asian Dream of prosperity after hard work.Work hard now reap the benefits later. Deferred gratification. For some God just has not provided a secure enough foundation for them to trust him. That is how reality and scripture clash.

    This song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it...hits too close to home for me, though I'm the mother, not the father, and for me it was graduate school, not the corporate world. Even though my situation did have an end in sight (graduation this weekend!) and wasn't about worshiping money, it still felt like this, having to miss ballgames and birthdays and pull all-nighters for research. Thank God that my family and I are believers, and together with God we got through it.

    If I speak the language of men and of Angels, but do not LOVE, I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all the mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so that I can move mountains, but do not LOVE, I am nothing. And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have LOVE, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
    As children of God we were put here to show His love to ALL creation, not condemn.

    This song really reminds me of trying to take care off all of y'all. Especially in Baton Rouge. I had to fly back and forth from Baton Rouge to Ft Worth every other week to run that facility for your Grandpa Jack. Glenda was supposed to run it, but she was a nut case.

    You don’t get to make successful arguments by insulting your opponents. Trying to tell someone why they’re wrong is one thing, but you can’t just call someone “petty” and expect their argument to go away.

      for we all need Jesus, all sin and fall short of The glory of God and the wages of sin is death. the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord, for Jesus died on the cross and rose again and by His blood our sins are forgiven. there is no other way than Jesus for He is The Way The Truth The Life and no one comes to The Father except through Him. for it is by declaring with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you are saved see romans 10:9-13, i encourage you to read your Bible and invite The Holy Spirit to guide your mind as you read, john romans psalms luke and mark are good places to start. God bless God Jesus The Holy Spirit love you and be with you forevermore in Jesus Name we pray amen :) only One God our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ i am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. galatians 2:20 in Jesus Name we pray amen, pray for the peace of israel pray for those who are persucated for righteousness sake for their is the kingdom of heaven see matthew 5:10 pray for the brethren pray for me in all things praying for you in Jesus Name we pray amen may you believe in Jesus and be saved in Jesus Name we pray amen i encourage you to repent of your sins turn from them and come to believe in Jesus for it is by declaring with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you are saved and all who truly put their trust in Him will never be put to shame in Jesus Name we pray amen in Jesus Name we pray amen (see romans 10-11) for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, no one is promised tomorrow and Jesus alone saves all in Jesus Name we pray amen God bless God Jesus The Holy Spirit love you and be with you forevermore praying for you pray for me in all things through trials and temptations and sin and to be more Christ like everyday for Jesus is perfect and the same always in Jesus Name we pray men Jesus loves us all and died and rose again to save us all for by His blood our sins are forgiven, it is God's gift to us to be saved for we do not deserve it and we can not earn it but when we believe in Jesus we are saved and have passed over from death to life with God and Jesus forevermore in Jesus Name hey only God Jesus The Holy Spirit are perfect and only One God our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and we can be made righteous when we come to Jesus for while we have sinned and fall short of The glory of God Jesus The Holy Spirit but when we believe in Jesus and come to Him our sins are forgiven and we can turn from sin and wickedness and live a life worthy to Jesus in Jesus Name we pray amen Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? 7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? micah 6:6-8 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. john 14:6-7 do not use The Lord's Name in vain instead honor God love God with all heart soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself, believe in The One God has sent Jesus Christ for this is The Work of God in Jesus Name we pray amen That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. romans 10:9-13 only God Jesus The Holy Spirit are perfect and when we come to Jesus we can be saved for by His blood our sins are forgiven and when we believe we are saved, i encourage you to read your Bible for it alone is God's Word for us and invite The Holy Spirit into your life for it is God's Word and Spirit that give light and life to all for Jesus is The Living Word and all who believe in Jesus are saved and have passed over from death to life. they re no longer separated from God for eternity but have life and peace with God and Jesus forevermore, instead of being condemned to the lake of fire we have life in the new heaven the new earth and the new jerusalem where there is no more death or mourning or sorrow or crying or pain or sin for Jesus bore them all on the cross taking them away forevermore and when we truly believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior we are saved in Jesus Name we pray amen come into The Kingdom of Light accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today amen amen For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son john 3:16-18 come to know Jesus today He died on the cross for our sins and rose again, so we can live with Him forever because He loves us, by His blood He has victory over sin, death and hell amen. God Jesus The Holy Spirit love you amen God bless amen :)

    Awesome song! The video really illustrates how much we actually are doing for our familial relationships when we focus our everything on jobs. Putting our family first in our lives means putting God at the forefront of everything. Casting Crowns, your work is truly graced by God. I always see Him in your songs and most recently at your performance in Baltimore. I'll be keeping my eyes and ears on y'all. To Him be all Glory, God's Blessings!
