If the blessings that you receive
don't flow to those in need
If you hoard it just for yourself
like the rich, young ruler who wouldn't sell
all he had and give it away -
from following Jesus you will stray.

When you receive the world's money
pass it on to those God tells you to
Open your heart and home to strangers who
God brings to your door
Never ignore 
or neglect the poor
and you'll become rich in ways money can't buy
For you'll find yourself following in the footsteps of Christ
who only kept money to care for others
For his needs were all met by His Heavenly Father

So don't spend your days on getting more money but
rather set your mind on the wealth above
Yes, focus on the Son for he ever cares for you, ever loves
And he will never leave you or forsake you
So won't he, as a good husband,
always provide for you? Did he not make you?
Has he not numbered the hairs of your head?
Why would you then doubt what He said?
Take no thought for what you will eat or wear
for do I not for you abundantly care?
So like your Heavenly Father don't forget to richly share
for you were poor once before I took you in
and fed you and clothed you and cleansed you of sin

So be a channel of blessing that God can use
and you'll find you fit right in to Jesus' shoes
And you'll find you'll gain far more than you'll lose 
because pleasing the Father is our life's sole pursuit...
