Such Is the Heart of a Selfish Man

Such is the heart of the selfish man If I can't have it then no one can I'll take my sword and cut them down I'll take my torch and burn their town Honors son I am not To rule this world should be my lot Everyone and every thing Should bow their heads and crown me king I want mine and I will not stop I will take the throne I will be on top My kingdom I'll rulee with an iron hand I'll spread my name across this land Every man every woman every child every beast Will feel my power and on their blood I'll feast Love has no part in me Compation and mercy are for the weak Who is so selfish mean and crule He is the carnal man in me and you That can't be me we might all say But it is in us in many ways Jealousy envy racism too Gossip and slander to name a few How is this possible how can this be I thought I was good with my generosity It isn't just money or goods It isn't just helping whenever we should It is liveing my life by the example of Christ By liveing for all, all of my life Life on Purpose Live it before you lose it! ©2009 .
