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
