Greed That Fills the Evil In Me

When we spin sin we think it's a win We fill the evil that is within Then we plant the seeds That consumes my every need When we feed our greed It's hard to break free Only then are we able to see How it has its daggers into me Oh Lord I plea don't give up on thee Show me away from this hell Make my spirit well So my heart will swell Oh please don't let me fail My soul is so frail Taking advantage of others I find myself ducking for cover Show me the light So I can fight these feelings That just might Come back into sight Take my hand so we can take flight To your kingdom where I can Get my greed set free To fix what is broken inside of me So you would know How my heart grows in you Greed is one of the 7 deadly sins With you my Lord My life can now begin When we trust God we all win He makes it possible to live life Free of all sin
