Our Mortal Standard

eyes fixed on goals of wealth and riches

we reach out to recieve but never give

in debt for our wants and neglect our needs

silver and gold the measure of a man

possessions posses

owned by ownership indebted distress

enter the gauntlet of dreams

acquire happiness by any means

content is the man that knows

his worth relies in Christ

for Godliness with contentment is great gain

for we brought nothing into this world

and we take nothing out

for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil

some people eager for money

wandered from their faith

and pierced themselves with many griefs.
