Just Give Me Jesus

If I had only
Only toys and no joys I
I wouldn't be glad

If I had all but
Just a lot of everything's
What does it mean, what

How can it be why
Must I accumulate gifts
Material rich

Riches abundant
Only had I iever more
All the gifts that I

I've ever gleaned this
 I mention more abundance
What to gain the  world

This gift I'll ignore
Don't want to lose my soul, no
 Just give me Jesus
