The god of this world
wants to show you how you can fulfill your wildest dreams.
You lover of money
think it's sweeter than honey!
Such a slave to cash, can't
you see it's just trash?
When you have it you
think life is sunny.
You dream of the things
that your money can buy if only you had it to spend,
So you grab and you
snatch, you beg and you cry, you borrow from every friend.
There's never enough, more
money for stuff!
If you could get rich
without working a stitch
You'd be happy then,
bold and tough.
So many people now
covet more gold, they forget soon their Heavenly Father.
Numb to His Spirit
their souls soon are sold; they either don't know or don't bother.
What good will it do
when this life is through?
You'll stop being jolly
when you see your folly,
There is only one
wealth that is true.
So seek you first the
Kingdom of God, so seek you riches in Heaven;
Depend on Him always
and always be awed, and watch as desire's unleavened.
Don't be so greedy,
you'll always be needy;
The things of this
Earth are surely not worth
An eternity of dead
entreaties.

2 For
people will be lovers
of self, lovers of money,
proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents,
ungrateful, unholy,
3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without
self-control,
brutal, not loving good,
4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.
Avoid such people.
2 Timothy 3:2-5
