We love to brag of battles won <br />Boast of worldly powers <br />Without a thought of Christ God’s Son <br />Within our self made towers <br /> <br />We want this here we want that there <br />We want the things we see <br />But things The Lord would have us share <br />How quick our no can be <br /> <br />Yet God should feed the multitude <br />Should meet our daily need <br />Though every where’s ingratitude <br />From selfish hearts full greed <br /> <br />Onions we’ve sought in days gone by <br />Garlic still many crave <br />But what of He who chose to die? <br />That man may see no grave <br /> <br />We’re glad of cars houses galore <br />Palaces yachts and plane <br />But who giver’s thought of Heaven’s Door <br />The Key to birth again <br /> <br />Mountains we’ll climb valleys we’ll search <br />For gold great seas we’ll cruse <br />But for the jewels within God’s church <br />No second’s time we’d lose <br /> <br />Filling our minds with self desire <br />Bellies with sinful wares <br />Jeopardize souls to endless fire <br />And hell where no one cares <br /> <br />Let’s spare a thought of things to be <br />Of life beyond the grave <br />Let’s pray to God our eyes may see <br />The One our soul can save<br /><br />Michael P.
