Covet Deez Nutz
Covetousness
What's wrong with a little lust
For what I love to wish
?Does it equal happiness
What if I desire to be the tiniest camel
And walk through the eye of a needle
With a gold filled chalice
Should I strive to be poor
And not want more
Than to never give
To live in a shack
Rather than a palace
Shall I covet
And want more of it
To put a smile on my feckless face
Or be worth less
Am I so greedy
To want what I'm needing
To live
Covetousness
Then tell me what to wish
If there is no desire of this world
A man could kiss
If all the riches are in heaven
A hundred fold given
Then what are we doing
on this earth futilely living
;
For a man wants more
As his nature is attracting
What his flesh is asking
But tell me
What's so wrong
About wanting
What makes you happy
Now I ask
?What is money
Something everyone needs
Men say it's sweeter than honey
And as the offering plate
Passes me by
I covet the earnings
More than my pastor
