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.
