Rags to riches, Parody'

Listen to poem:
You took this man from rags to riches..When you spent all Heaven had to spare.' Your Sons blood bought me real redemption..Oh Father how you truly care.' Now I'll no longer be that beg-gar.' You've made my golden Dreams come true..' For He took my rags and gave back Riches, now my destiny is up to you.' My clothes may still be torn and tattered..Yet in my heart I Hold the King.' Although my pockets may be empty.. His Love is all... That really matters.' Its ev-ry-thing! Repeat on this stanza.' He opened His arms on that cross though hurt sore.' He Offered me treasure of life in great store.' He went through Grim death And kicked in hells dark doors' Now I'll hold Him and Kiss Him.' And keep Him for mine evermore.!! You took this man from rags to riches, you spent all heaven Had to spare.' Your Sons Love bought me real redemption Oh Father how you truly care.' Now I'm forever not that beg-gar..You've made my golden Dreans come true.' For He took my rags; and gave back riches, now my destiny is up to You..) End..'

We are no more beggars. Jesus Christ through his blood has made us inheritors of Kingly wealth. We should be ever thankful to God for the umpteen blessings we receive everyday from Him. Beautiful expression of your gratitude and deep faith, dear Joe.
