Lyrics
(Intro)
Hallelujah!
Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, I will never leave you or forsake you. (For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.)
(Verse)
Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.
Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again.
Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions. (It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.)
(Chorus)
All day long the wicked covet, but the righteous give and do not hold back.
All day long the wicked covet, but the righteous give and do not hold back.
All day long the wicked covet, but the righteous give and do not hold back.
(Verse 2)
No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
The lover of money will not be satisfied with money; nor the lover of wealth, with gain. This also is vanity.
Those who want to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and DESTRUCTION! (It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.)
(Chorus)
All day long the wicked covet, but the righteous give and do not hold back.
All day long the wicked covet, but the righteous give and do not hold back.
(Bridge)
If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.
(Bridge)
If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.
(Chorus x2)
All day long the wicked covet, but the righteous give and do not hold back.
All day long the wicked covet, but the righteous give and do not hold back.
(Outro)
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (All day long the wicked covet, but the righteous give and do not hold back.)
(Outro)
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (All day long the wicked covet, but the righteous give and do not hold back.)
