Money, money, is man’s desire
Fame, with someone to love
Growing richer, climbing higher
Seldom, to life above
God’s often sought, through disaster
Mostly when one’s in need
Not to become our Master
Or Guide, through life to lead
Yet nothing, is far more vital
More important than grace
No pleasure, no royal title
Than seek and find God’s face
Rich men have lived, amassing wealth
While hungering for more
Carousing, boozing, until ill health
Open’s death’s waiting door
Is this; truly what life’s about?
Consult yourself to see
Let wisdom cause not a jot of doubt
Money can’t buy you free
Through selfishness, hell calls many
As drops of morning dew
Ere, screaming without a penny
Love’s calling out, to you
Jesus, of whom you give no thought
Or whom you thought a lie
Disbelieving the true report
For you! He chose to die
Paying all debts of sinful shame
Cleansing more pure than gold
When truly believing in His name
We’ll live the truth He told…..
