One’s health is good one’s house is fine
Life’s portion’s more than fair
Eating choice meat washed down with wine
Heaven has had to share
We think we’re free, but nothing’s real
For souls with hearts of stone
Is it perhaps the way we feel?
Because of things we own
We think we’re rich though lost and poor
We disobey God’s word
Unless in Christ our heart’s made pure
Our reasoning’s absurd
We’ll still remain the devil’s tools
Living, dying in sin
To self to God we play as fools
With no way out to win
Unless we see The Truth first hand
Lose our selfish pride
Begin the past to understand
To bid God’s Son inside
For lest the heart has truly learned
One’s silver counts for nought
Salvation’s crown can not be earned
Nor endless life be bought
Cast down the idols made of gold
Bow Jesus Christ your knee
Look deep inside, by grace behold
What Truth would have you see
Love true The Lord, your neighbours too
Give Christ your shame drenched heart
Join the ranks of the chosen few
From death’s cold hands depart……
