Fly Away As An Eagle Toward Heaven

And be that as it may If I come in contact with a ruler One that I may sup with Craving for something to say Eat just most anything to survive Riches make themselves wings then fly fly away as an eagle toward heaven And if I be hungry with an appetite Craving for something to say Eat just most anything to survive Riches make themselves wings then fly away as an eagle toward heaven I better not eat if this deceitful meats still hungry now And if I be hungry with an appetite Craving for something to say Eat just most anything to survive Riches make themselves wings then fly away as an eagle toward heaven For eating not the bread of Him that has an evil eye watches for the man with the evil eye Craving for something to say Eat just most anything to survive, still hungry now, hungry now For what thinketh he in his heart behind his heart are evil thoughts Still hungry now, so is he says to thee his words are be not desirous Still hungry now cause the rich means to sets his eyes Upon that which is not high Craving for something to say eat just most anything to survive riches make themselves wings then fly sway as an eagle toward heaven And if I be hungry with an appetite Craving for something to say Eat just most anything to survive Riches make themselves wings then fly away as an eagle toward heaven Inspired & taken from Proverbs 23:1-7 from anthology "The Wedding 012176" 03/04/14 written by James Edward Lee Sr.
