No Compromise

Who wants good money, a nice a house and nice cars? We all want to be millionaires, question is how far What will one do to gain worldly goods? Will one give up their God and values just to be greedy and get what they could? Would one tell lies to sell something expensive? Would one strip and do something explicit? Would one do music that sends messages of death and sin? Just so in the world of the rich, they could fit in Would one give false prophesies Just for financial gain Would one lie to the saints during their dry season So they can take their money and have the saints wishing for rain Would one make a business out of serving the Lord? And have the flock scattered and not one accord Living a double life and using all funds to fulfill their dreams Instead of using the funds to help the poor and removed from the unsaved eyes large beams With me, there is no compromise I want millions too But I want to get the right way And share it with those in need Instead of keeping it all to myself And living in a spirit of greed I will not compromise my faith in God Nor will I compromise my standards for life To get the good things of this world And still feel unfulfilled, like something in your life is not suffice I love God and Jesus way too much And I love others too And I love myself; I love being me And I know that chasing material things instead of waiting for God to elevate you can put you in bondage While living for God and doing things His way will make you free
