Health For Our Wealth
HEALTH FOR OUR WEALTH
Joseph O. Adebanjo
Lord unto thee we pray for a growing wealth
But dear Father to it add your ever glowing health
That we may enjoy our days upon the earth.
For what good is there of wealth without health
And what reward has a dead man beneath
The soil whose riches are stalked upon the earth?
Oh Lord unto thee we pray for a teeming wealth
But guide oh God as we walk this humming earth,
From evil, grieve and pain we need your sheath
For what is the use of wealth?
If we are frail or held up in the earth beneath?
Dear Father unto you we pray swarming wealth
But grant health to enjoy our blazing wealth
That another will not inherit our sweat
For what is use of great wealth?
When there is no health to rest in our sweat
Dear God we fret not, for health
Will you will grant unto us.
From for the debt of health
We will never be a guest
For after our sweat, we will have perfect rest.
