RICHES!
Riches
without SORROW – only God can give
For the rich
man in his greed thinks he'll outlive
The poor,
the meek, the beggar in the street
Because he
trusts his riches against God to compete!
Riches
without FEAR – only God can give
For the rich
man in his arrogance thinks he has no need
For
child-like faith, or Almighty God in his life
Since with
his money he purchases the bodyguards he feeds!
Riches
without GUILT – only God can give
For the rich
man in his great pride believes
His money
entitles him to achieve
Whatever,
and whoever, his lusts can conceive to receive!
Ah, rich
man, now poor man – if only you knew
The God of
Creation is always watching you
To see if
your riches will to His Glory attend
Or give you
the things that'll cause you into hell to descend!
Repent ye,
this day, and to the Lord give your praise
Don't
worship the things that fade and rust away
Be kind to
the unfortunate, the downtrodden, the weak
And at the
first resurrection, up to Heaven, you'll be raised! **BJC**
