No Compromise

Who wants good money, a nice a house and nice cars?
We all want to be millionaires, question is how far
What will one do to gain worldly goods?
Will one give up their God and values just to be greedy and get what they could?
Would one tell lies to sell something expensive?
Would one strip and do something explicit?
Would one do music that sends messages of death and sin?
Just so in the world of the rich, they could fit in

Would one give false prophesies
Just for financial gain
Would one lie to the saints during their dry season
So they can take their money and have the saints wishing for rain

Would one make a business out of serving the Lord?
And have the flock scattered and not one accord
Living a double life and using all funds to fulfill their dreams
Instead of using the funds to help the poor and removed from the unsaved eyes large beams

With me, there is no compromise
I want millions too
But I want to get the right way
And share it with those in need
Instead of keeping it all to myself
And living in a spirit of greed

I will not compromise my faith in God
Nor will I compromise my standards for life 
To get the good things of this world
And still feel unfulfilled, like something in your life is not suffice

I love God and Jesus way too much
And I love others too
And I love myself; I love being me
And I know that chasing material things instead of waiting for God to elevate you can put you in bondage
While living for God and doing things His way will make you free
