Power of Money

If we don’t have enough money, we lose our dignity and independence In our society having money makes a big difference It can own you if you’re priorities are off Without money so many seem lost But it grows remarkably when we manage it cleverly It can evaporate without a trace when we waste it foolishly Once it’s invested wisely, you can have more of it With a blessing like that I would do more good with it The power of it makes many forget their values and morals Loving money too much could lead to all kinds of evils We need compassion for those of us in pain We need understanding for those that are insane Power and greed is powerful icons of modern day life We have to trust Jesus to resist the tempestuous stresses and toil of strife As long as I have enough to get by I'm very happy 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
