JUST WHAT I AM

 

The Bible says I’m a new creation
That I have been born again
My transformation took place
When I repented of all my sins

inside me there dwells a power
Something holy and sacred to me
This power emanates from the cross
It should be evident to see

While here I’m supposed to use it
In every situation where there’s a need
When I gave my heart to Him
There’s no way that I can’t succeed

I have a helper while here on Earth
He whispers to me all the time
Holy Spirit, one of the Godhead
Keeps me from committing a crime

So, while here I have a mission
To tell as many people as I can
About the relationship that I’m in
With Lord Jesus, the Great I Am

I am told that I have a new home
Somewhere up in the eastern sky
I plan to take as many as I can
To Heaven, one day we will fly

The question? Just what I am”
I am the child of the newborn King
And considering what I once was
To Him my praises I always bring

FILTHY LUCRE

 

For thirty pieces of filthy silver
Our Lord Jesus was betrayed
The temptation was put before him
And Judas, from the Master, strayed

It’s been called the root of all evil
This monetary system we have
The lust to have more of it
Becomes a destroying balm or salve

It can control you if you allow it
Make you do things you shouldn’t
Make you say things not true
Things that you normally wouldn’t

Because of it greed also reigns
And you ruthlessly strive for more
If you don’t get a grip on it
Chances are you’ll enter Hell’s door

On the bright side, money exists
To help people in desperate need
When used correctly and by faith
When sown becomes a financial seed

When given as your required tithe
It allows God to do mighty works
This filthy lucre becomes a tool
The results become a holy perk

So, money can be so many things
It can uplift or be your downfall
It depends on how it is used
Either for Satan or a most holy call
