Money and Power
There are a lot of rich people who are Christians
and many of them for others have great care.
Why not?  They can't take their riches
to Heaven - they might just as well share.

You don't have to give your mansion away
but you could forgo a Cadillac or Lincoln.
Oh, you know that there are many items that
you could help with and I'm just thinkin'.


Money, by the way, is the root of all evil,
over people it has great power.
There are many people who spend
their day counting their money by the hour.

If you have been blessed with lots of money
and other posessions,
Let some of them go - they could end up
being the cause of some transgressions.

Unlock the banks and the holdings
let some of your dollars help others.
That way we can really touch
other people's lives, sisters and brothers.
